Why Egypt Holidays are so popular this winter

You may have read that during the October break Egypt holidays were the preferred choice for the bargain break. Specifically Sharm el Sheikh was the most popular destination replacing Majorca as the most popular destination.

British tourists have made the switch away from traditional locations such as holiday resorts in Spain like the Costa Blanca because of the weakness of the pound against the euro. Families are looking for a bargain holiday so while the euro zone increases in price the Red Sea can offer families and couples value for money. The popularity of Egypt holidays can be put down to the cheaper price with the average family said to be able to save around £500 this year. Then it meets the criteria of still being close enough, still a short haul flight making it now much longer than heading to Spain.

I can also see why so many people have chosen Egypt holidays as the country has so much to offer for everyone. There are the famous pyramids of Giza, the last of the great wonders of the world and the amazing city of Cairo. For the adventure fans/fun for the kids there is a huge array of water sports from diving, snorkelling and then the kids can have fun with the camel rides.

If you book an Egypt holiday to the most popular destination Sharm el Sheikh, then you have you to experience the amazing underwater world that can found at the southern Sinai. It’s hard to explain the amazing experience you get from the colourful array of exotic fish, rare reefs shining through in the clear beautiful sea. This area is well known for scuba diving and snorkelling; the companies operating here offer a great service. The perfect place to take your partner to share an amazing experience together. Really the underwater world in the Red Sea is beautiful.

Finally if you just want to enjoy the sun or relax after all the activities the weather is warm during the day and in the evening, around 25 degrees during the day. Egypt holidays will mean you can enjoy the all year round hot sun something that can be hit or miss in Europe.
