Our featured holiday resorts on the Red Sea and the Sinai Peninsula are popular year round even with hardy sunbathers in the summer months of June, July and August when temperatures can rise to well over 40 degrees centigrade! The rest of the year temperatures return to more bearable levels, however the climate remains hot and dry with cooler nights in winter.
The lively Red Sea resorts such as
Sharm el Sheikh and Hurghada have a range of restaurants offering many types of cuisine from fast food and restaurants serving British dishes to local authentic Egyptian food. There is plenty of night-time entertainment including bars and nightclubs some of the local and British owned bars have Sky TV and show premier league football and other sporting events. In the smaller newer resorts such as Taba and Marsa Alam however much of the entertainment is hotel based with many hotels offering all inclusive board arrangements.
For 'shopaholics' Egypt has a varied shopping experience, from large retailers and chic shopping malls to fantastic bazaars and local markets. The markets are the best place to grab a bargain, you'll find a large variety of souvenirs including pictures and the best buys of jewellery and leather goods. The Egyptian pound is the local currency; however, sterling is widely accepted in the hotels and larger retailers throughout the resorts.
