Here are ten excursions you will love whilst on a holiday in Egypt:
Red Sea Boat Trip
There’s nothing better than relaxing on-deck marvelling at the sumptuous Red Sea scenery. Here you can while away the hours in the sun and enjoy a spot of light swimming in some of the best spots in the Red Sea.
Giza Plateau
No trip to Egypt would be complete without a trip to the Pyramids and Great Sphinx at Giza. This can be a tiring day especially in peak season when the crowds are big so a visit here out of season may be the best option.

St. Catherine’s Monastery
A site of such religious and historical importance, this is a great excursion for any Egyptian holiday.
