Luxor
What to do?
Luxor really is one of the most historic places on earth providing sightseers with the chance to explore ancient Egypt. Attractions include the Temple of Luxor, Temple of Karnak, various outstanding Roman ruins and of course the Valley of the Kings.
Where to stay?
Luxury is standard in Luxor with many top-class hotels well established in the city. There is also more affordable three and four star accommodation readily available, but if travelling in the heat of summer ensure that your room has air conditioning or you will simply melt!
The Lotus Luxor Hotel is in a great location, within walking distance of the heart of this vibrant city, giving easy access to the historic and cultural treasure of Luxor. Set amidst an amazing tropical garden, the Lotus Luxor has comfortable guest rooms and suites with great views, sumptuous dining options and lovely heated swimming pools.
Sharm el Sheikh
What to do?
Sharm el Sheikh is one of Egypt's most established and lively holiday resorts. It is the perfect destination for those seeking sun and all the fun of a Mediterranean style holiday.
The resort is famous for its stunning coral reefs, tropical aquatic life and amazing shipwrecks and boasts countless diving schools which cater for both beginners and experts, so there's no excuse not to experience the beauty under the water as well as out of it too!
Where to stay?
The St George Three Corners Resort lies on the Um el Sid Hill, south-west of Naama Bay. It has a pleasant, friendly atmosphere along with 2 swimming pools. There is a range of facilities nearby, including cafés and a little further afield lies Naama Bay, which can be easily reached on the hotel’s free courtesy bus. It’s perfect for children, with their own pool, and a kid’s club, with a comprehensive entertainment and activity program that they are sure to enjoy.
