Ideally situated on the sparkling crystal waters of the Red Sea, with the Jebel Darah mountains as a backdrop, the Red Sea region is the ideal place for sun, sea and sand, and all the fascination and fun of this holiday destination.

Hurghada still retains its reputation as one of the best places to dive in Egypt. There is nothing better than spending a day out on a boat, snorkelling, diving or simply soaking up the sun. Alternatively, other activities such as golfing, horse riding and desert safaris are all close at hand. Hurghada has lots more to offer, with many places to eat and drink, go souvenir shopping and enjoy a lively nightlife.

El Gouna began as a romantic vision of boats and a passion for the sea. It has now evolved into an attractive resort with a cluster of islands surrounded by turquoise lagoons with warm waters lapping pristine, sandy beaches. The attractive town centre, the heartbeat of El Gouna, is built in traditional Egyptian style with inner courtyards, alleys and domed buildings, and a bustling, village atmosphere. It’s a perfect place for those who enjoy a lively nightlife, with trendy cafes, bars, restaurants and clubs, all with a party atmosphere.
