If you’ve never been to Egypt there’s so much to learn about before you go. Find out why we think Egypt is the perfect place for your holiday this year.

The temeratures in Egypt get very high, almost too hot. Egypt’s hottest month is in July where the temperatures rise to 40 degrees so if you don’t like it too hot avoid visiting in these months. If you don’t like it too hot then avoid Egypt in its hottest months.

You will find lots of all inclusive holidays in Egypt for a great price and fantastic quality.

Sharm el Sheik is one fo of the busiest resorts in Egypt with plenty of shops, bars and restaurants.The nightlfe here is fantastic and the days are fun too. Some of the other resorts, such as Alexandria do not have as much to do at night, so if you are looking for a holiday where you can let your hair down after dark, check with your travel agent.

Egypt is the home of the pyramids and no trip would be complete without seeing the Great Pyramid. Even if you are in a resort which is some miles away there are taxis which can be hired for the day which will take you there for a very reasonable fee. Make sure you leave early as you will be on the road for many hours. You will find the easiest way is to fly there.

One of the most popular things to do in Egypt is to take a trip down the famous River Nile. If you get the opportunity to do this we recommend that you do. A lot of the trips down the Nile are on larger boats on which you can enjoy a meal and drinks as you journey down one of the most famous rivers in the world.

Now that you know a few more things about Egypt holidays you will probably want to go there yourself to explore this amazing holiday destination. Ensure you have packed plenty of sun cream and camera as you will definately need both of them!

With an average of around 4,500 visitors daily, the Valley of the Kings in Egypt is one hot tourist destination. There are 63 tombs in the valley, but only 18 are open to the public and it’s rare that these are all open at once. The most famous and most visited tomb is that of King Tut. Due to the unknown nature of King Tut’s sudden death, his tomb is not nearly as impressive as others, but it’s still very much worth a visit. The best way to maximise your visit is to plan ahead before you go. Here are some top tips to to help you plan your journey:

Guided or solo?

You can choose to either navigate the valley on your own or with a tour guide. While tour guides are not allowed to lecture within the tombs, they can help you plan your journey and will answer any questions you have before and after. Not all of the tombs are open everyday so guides can help direct you to the best ones. If you’re going on your own, choose around ten tombs you want to see beforehand, and then when you get there you can select your top choices based on what’s open.

Be comfortable

The summer months in Egypt can be unbearably hot. Light clothing, sunglasses and a hat are strongly encouraged to keep you comfortable, so don’t worry about complying with Egyptian dress restrictions you may have found in other locations.

Plan before hand 

There is plenty to see and do so make the most of it by doing a little research beforehand. Plus you’ll be able to appreciate Egyptian culture the more that you understand it. Try and visit a nearby antiquities museum if you can. The British Museumin London will give you a great insight into Egyptian culture, making your visit more insightful. You don’t need to visit a museum however – there is loads of material online that can provide you with an informative background. Heritage Key is one site that is really great as you can virtually explore the Valley of the Kings with a self designed avatar!

Pace yourself

While all the tombs are unique in their own right, it recommended that you only visit three or fourSerious tomb researchers may enjoy visiting all that’s on offer but if you’ve just got a normal interest, it’s suggested you only visit three or four on your trip. There are plenty of other amazing sites to see on the West Bank, including monuments and temples. Also the Egyptian Museum in Cairo is home to some of Egypt’s great antiquities including the solid gold death mask of King Tut.

Think ahead and you’ll ensure yourself a fabulous trip. It’s an ancient site full of history as well as mystery that anyone with an interest in ancient Egypt needs to see for themselves. Enjoy yourself and be sure to bring plenty of water and sun block!

One of the most popular search terms across the Internet is “holidays”. What are people really looking for when they type in holidays? I would imagine that anyone who types in the word “holidays” into Google doesn’t really know where it is that they want to go! In order for me to get the best results, i conducted a lot of research into these areas. I will write another post for the US!

European holidays are the most popular holidays in the world, mainly Spain or Turkey. These are great for money value and a hot country. However, what about the holiday searches outside of Europe! When you ask people this you then get this answer “the Caribbean or America”. And this is where you will find them to be (sort of) wrong.

Generally people don’t search all that much for “America holidays”, in fact they usually look for a specific place in this land of the free. Places like New York, Las Vegas and Florida are among the largest of these “Search Volumes”. Search Volume basically shows us how many people search for a specific keyword in Google. This seemed to be the correct idea, so I thought i would have a look and find out myself. There was something i found that was very different. Egypt had a higher search volume than both of them put together. And when you looked at the search volume for a specific location in Egypt you quite quickly found that search volumes where immense.

Sharm El Sheikh for some reason gets a whopping amount of searches from the UK. Somewhere in the region of 240,000 people a month searches for this on the internet. This is an astronomical number and only half the amount of search for “holidays”. Everybody has the general idea of where they want to go, some are just lazier than others or want to see what offers are available to different places.

In conclusion Egypt holidays is one of the most wanted trips on the planet, and Sharm El Sheikh holidays are the most wanted in this destination, if you prefer to go scuba diving, I recommend Hurghada holidays!
