“What is your favorite country?” As a little girl I responded enthusiastically:” EGYPT!” At the primary school my papers and lectures were about this beautiful country, because of the famous history. Pharaohs, writing on papyrus, hieroglyphs, pyramids, the various gods and mummies. I love it.
GREAT DESTINATION TO ESCAPE THE WINTER
Egypt is the perfect destination for us Dutch people. We like to get some sun rays in the winter. You can escape the snow on just a 5.5 hours flight from Amsterdam. In no time you stand in your bikini on Hurghada beach. With 9 hours of sunshine per day and about 23 degrees, this is the perfect destination for you to fully recharge and loose your winter depression!
VERSATILE DESTINATION
Relaxing and being served from your chair, discovering the underwater world, taking a boat trip, visit the temples, working on a tan or check the pyramids from your bucket list? Egypt has it all! Egypt offers something for every target group. That’s why it is the ideal destination for young and old tourists.
HURGHADA
We stayed in Hurghada in the Grand Plaza Hotel & Resort. This is the most touristic city in Egypt and has its own airport. There are a huge number of resorts in Hurghada, located on the Red Sea. The distance from the airport to the hotel zone is only 20-30 minutes. From Hurghada you can make a number of beautiful excursions. Read my blog Relive ancient Egypt.
SNORKELING
Egypt is located on the Red Sea and is rich in beautiful coral reefs. Diving lovers can indulge themselves here. Don’t forget your snorkel set in your suitcase! I share our best snorkel spot with you in my blog Mahmya.
