The resorts of the Red Sea provide the perfect blend of ingredients for anyone looking for a beach holiday. Thomas Cook offers holidays in all three of the main resort areas of the Red Sea. Sharm el Sheikh on the southernmost tip of the Sinai Peninsular is probably the most developed in this region of Egypt, whilst over on the western shoreline, the Red Sea Resorts around Hurghada boast some of the best dive sites in the world. Add to this the emerging area of Marsa Alam with its peaceful, picturesque setting and you have everything under the sun.

Egypt is a mythical land steeped in ancient history. Egypt has everything; from its fantastic year round climate and abundance of ancient sites to explore. The ancient Pyramids. The Sphinx. Tutankhamun's burial treasures. Are just some of the sights that should not be missed by visitors to Cairo. Further south, at the other end of Nile Valley, lies Luxor, gateway to the legendary Valley of the Kings, ancient temples and the dramatic Aswan High Dam.
