Cairo is modern, authentic and ancient, full of scents and colours. At first you will certainly experience culture shock. Don't be alarmed - a city with more than 5,000 years of history is bound to be complex and many-layered. Choose carefully what you will see - the famous Egyptian Museum is endless, but it cannot be missed. The pyramids of Giza are the living heritage of ancient Egypt, one of the wonders of the world. The Sphinx has calmly greeted visitors for hundreds of years; they change, but it will outlive all time. The Khan El Khalili market is the largest open-air market in Africa. Remember - bargaining is part of the fun of this distinctive street shopping. Leaving the bustling metropolis of Cairo dazzled, you will find Hurghada a true paradise - a place of rest and pleasure. The city has two impressive borders - on one side the warm, caressing Red Sea, on the other the awe-inspiring Sahara. Don't miss either of them. Where else could you lose yourself underwater among colourful shoals of fish and corals? Where else could you take stock of your life from the back of a camel? Hurghada means luxury, modern resorts, rich and varied cuisine and pure bliss on a white beach under the caressing Egyptian sun. You can treat yourself to this experience as early as February.
