If you make a decision to spend your vacation in Egypt, typically you have got a choice of two sea resorts - Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh.  They both are very popular, but Hurghada is situated in African continent while Sharm El Sheikh lies on Sinai spur. 

About 30 years back Hurghada was just a straightforward fishing village.  But now, with it’s a resort with wonderfully clear water, untouched reefs.  It’s become one of the best Egyptian visitor destinations.  A significant part of its fame Hurghada gained as one of the best diving centers of the world.  Like all oriental cities Hurghada make living out of trade, so if when you walk along the city, be in a position to beat off the pressing offers of the sellers, deserving to make you purchase their mementos.  There are some more entertainments except shopping and diving in Hurghada.  You can make a jeep trip to a desert, visit Bedouin’s village there ; you can see corals and some natural preserves.  Hurghada is also has aqua-park.  Fishing is one of the popular visitor’s activities in Hurghada too.  Today, Hurghada is understood as a party town, particularly among europeans.  Locals and others will tell you that life starts at night in Hurghada, with the many clubs.  The best time to visit Hurghada is October-November.  In winter there are powerful winds and it becomes dark awfully early. 

when you are in Hurghada do not miss the chance to see one of the most superb monuments of Egypt history - Luxor and the Valley of the King.  Pharaoh’s tombs and traditional churches are worth visiting. 

Sharm el-Sheikh is one of the most accessible and developed tourist resort communities on the Sinai peninsula.  All around are Bedouins, colorful tents, mountains and sea.  Na’ama Beach is one of the middle of the tourist activities.  Located just north of Sharm, this area is developing into a resort town of its own.  For those that like shopping, the Sharm El-Sheikh mall provides shops with both foreign and local products, including jewellery, leather goods, clothing, pottery and books.  Nobody leaves Sharm el-Sheikh without several useless but terribly pleasant souvenirs.  Like Hurghada, Sharm el-Sheikh is known for diving too, but it has more diversity in corals. 

Those, who select Sharm el-Sheikh also has opportunity to watch the attractiveness of Sinai promontory - The monastery of St Catherine, Mount Sinai ( or Mountain of Moses ), Pharaoh’s Island and Salah El Din castle, Nabq countrywide Park, Ras Abu Galum state Park and so -called ‘Coloured ravine’. 

The last but not the least of the Egypt must-sees is Cairo with its pyramids.  From either Hurghada or Sharm El-Sheikh it’s going to be a long trip, but you may never regret it! 

When you going to Egypt, remember that 3-star hotels in Egypt have nothing to do with 3-star hostels in Europe.  So, it’s better to choose 4 or 5 star hotel.  Doubtless it saves you from many inconveniences.  Regularly the giant hotels have zoos, playgrounds, discos, bars, a number of pools and even tiny theaters.  So, might be you’ll to want to leave your hotel.  Anyway, a visit to Egypt guarantees to be exotic and fascinating expierence.
