Luxury Holiday Villas Egypt
Luxury Holiday Villas in Egypt - Egypt has a wealth of archaeological sites and secrets, many of which remain to be discovered, not to mention the many stunning beaches and luxury holiday villas to be found on the Red Sea and along the Mediterranean coast.
The Red Sea coast in Egypt is a great all-year-round destination for family holidays and sports enthusiasts, as temperatures are very pleasant in winter
The mythical Sinai and the desert to the west of the Nile are perfect for trekking, 4x4 adventures, hiking and desert safaris. As for leisure activities, Egypt offers many theme vacations, for instance, golf, diving and thalassotherapy, as well as multi-activity holidays, combinations of culture, water and sports attractions, not to mention unforgettable cruises on the Nile.
A mythical and life-giving river, the Nile crosses Egypt from South to North, from Lake Nasser on the border with Sudan right to its 250 km wide delta on the Mediterranean coast. The Nile valley is divided into three zones: Lower Egypt to the North, Middle Egypt and Upper Egypt to the South. The river is navigable for much of its length in periods when the water level is high.
Egypt is divided naturally into four regions: the Nile valley, the Sahara to the West of the Nile, the Arabian desert to the East of the Nile and the Sinai Peninsula beyond the Suez canal. Outside the tourist zones, Egypt displays an amazing contrast between bustling towns (Cairo has a population of more than 17 million) and the austere, peaceful country regions, set in their ancient ways.
