Egypt has so much more to offer than the Pyramids, the Sphinx and the Nile, as a new generation of holidaymakers are discovering.

TO Holiday has seen a huge increase in bookings for the Red Sea as it competes with the Canaries with its fantastic year-round weather, great value for money and only a 5-hour flight from the UK or Scandinavia.

The Red Sea features several resorts - it is simply a case of deciding which suits your particular holiday needs:

Sharm El Sheikh

Probably the most well known of the Red Sea resorts - a vibrant atmosphere, varied nightlife, and range of cuisines in the many bars & restaurants, plus an excellent selection of world-class hotels.

Taba Heights

One of the most exciting tourism developments on the Red Sea. Ideally located for exploring Egypt, Jordan and Israel - including Israel's original Red Sea resort of Eilat, offering fantastic fun for all the family with its Dolphin reef, the underwater Observatory & Oceanarium.

Nuweiba

A peaceful resort with some of the finest beaches on the Red Sea. Nestled between the Sinai Mountains and the azure waters of the Red Sea, Nuweiba offers spectacular scenery; the perfect setting for those seeking a relaxing break.

Dahab

Dahab is a laid back resort and an ideal location for those wishing to escape the crowds, providing an authentic Egyptian ambience and relaxed atmosphere, golden beaches and perfect diving conditions.

Hurghada
This established, cosmopolitan resort is a haven for divers and holidaymakers. Hurghada provides a taste of authentic Egypt and has no real town centre but instead has several hotspots which are hives of activity with shops, restaurants and exciting nightlife.

El Gouna

A picturesque, purpose built resort set on a series of small islands, surrounded by the Red Sea. Known as 'Venice on the Red Sea', this sophisticated resort offers outstanding facilities including a championship 18-hole golf course, a variety of water sports and diving opportunities, go-kart track and wine tasting.
