Hurghada
Hurghada, Red Sea, offers a beach for every type of traveler.

Welcoming more than one thousand visitors per year, the Hurghada Aquarium sits right along Ahia Harbor. The waterfront aquarium is home to whale sharks, tiger sharks, hammerheads, thresher sharks, and dolphins.
Alexandria
Alexandria, the largest Egyptian coastal cities, has been a Mediterranean vacation hot spot for decades.
The Alexandria Coast is a seventy-kilometer-long section of Egyptian coastline stretching between the north-western side of the Nile delta (Town El-Dekhila) to Mariout Lake (Town Abu-Qir) in the east.
It is backed by an undulating sandy escarpment with marvelous cliffs and intercut by deep valleys terminating in bays lined with fishing villages. It is, according to UNESCO, an outstanding example of a Mediterranean landscape.
Sharm El Sheikh
Sharm El-Sheikh is a fantastic coastal city which, as well as having some stunning beaches, is rich in diving activities and has some magnificent natural wonders.
In addition to this, Sharm El-Sheikh has a reasonably stable climate all year round with only moderate temperature increases in the summer months and occasional lows in winter.
If sightseeing rather than sunbathing is on your agenda, then June through to November are the best months to go.
Vacation rentals in the city which is lying on the southern edge of the Sinai Peninsula and the coastal strip along the Red Sea are common as well as and affordable so visitors have a little extra space when they want privacy. Many have stunning beach access, or even private pools so you can take advantage of the climate.
Naama Bay is the largest of the Sharm Elsheikh resorts, making it the obvious choice if you intend to stay for a while. The landscape varies from coastline to coral reefs to forest, so you’ll never be bored, and there’s everything from party cities to small villages to explore. Pro tip: even if your rental has a kitchen, allow plenty of flexibility to stop in Ras Mohammed oasis and Ras Om El Seid bars, too. | | |
