Egypt land of wonders

Holidays between temples and corals: On a trip to Egypt, you can not only immerse yourself in fascinating underwater worlds, but also in the millennia-old history of the pharaohs.

The legendary land on the Nile has long been a popular destination for holidaymakers. No wonder: after all, you can find everything here that makes a vacation an unforgettable experience. The Red Sea with its beautiful coral reefs is the ideal place for sunbathing, swimming and snorkeling, where you can swim amidst dolphins, manatees and an overwhelming variety of flora and fauna. Sports enthusiasts will get their money's worth with windsurfing or kitesurfing.

Relaxing on the Red Sea also includes relaxing activities such as Bedouin dining with delicious, slow-cooked food, campfires and music. For a relaxing wellness experience, you can indulge in a wide range of spa treatments at the many luxury hotels. In summer, the north coast of Egypt is popular with the locals and offers a unique beach experience, perfectly complemented by great dining options and a vibrant nightlife.

Walks along the white sandy beaches and a dip in the turquoise waters will delight sea lovers. Those interested in culture can admire the Column of Pompey in Alexandria or take an overnight trip to Cairo to visit the pyramids and other unique sights.

When winter temperatures prevail in Europe, you can enjoy many outdoor activities in Egypt in the most beautiful sunshine. Diving enthusiasts in particular are drawn to the Red Sea Riviera during this season, where you can discover breathtaking natural wonders. Underwater sports have been established in the region since the 1950s, when the Austrian underwater filmmaker Dr. Hans Hass and the famous French diver Jacques Cousteau explored the Red Sea with its fascinating coral reefs. Today, some of the best diving spots in the world can be found here, with fully equipped facilities and internationally certified diving instructors who teach even beginners how to take their first steps underwater. Of course, many other water sports are also on offer - in seaside resorts such as Hurghada, Sharm El-Sheikh, Marsa Alam, El Gouna or Taba, there is something for everyone.

Apart from all the sporting pleasures , you should not miss out on immersing yourself in the exciting history. Egypt offers a rich cultural experience spanning thousands of years of history. In this country, you can be transported back to the time of the pharaohs and explore museums with countless artifacts such as coins, ceramic art, busts of ancient emperors, mosaics, sarcophagi and mummies. Or you can be enchanted by ancient Egyptian myths at a sound and light show in the temple of Philae or Abu-Simbel. These ancient archaeological sites are home to countless magnificent monuments, such as the temples of Ramses II and the sanctuary of Isis. Equally worthwhile is a trip to the ancient city of Memphis, which was once counted among the wonders of the world. There you will find fascinating tombs, mastabas, temples and pyramids. And Thebes, the former capital of Egypt, includes temples and palaces in Karnak and Luxor as well as necropolises in the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens.

But ancient traditions are also omnipresent in modern Egyptian everyday life . If you stroll through the bazaars and haggle for the best deals, smoke a hookah and drink tea in old cafés, you can watch living history pass you by, just as it has done in Egypt for centuries. This country is a spectacle that must be experienced!
