Egypt is located in the valley of the River Nile, with two major seas that border it, the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, Egypt has attracted tourists worldwide who want a glimpse of the famous Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx in Cairo, remnants of the country’s historical background that date back to the Ancient Egyptian times. Egypt has fast become a popular holiday destination due to its climate and exotic landscape which is mostly the Arabian and Libyan Desert. Due to its rise in popularity, cheap flights are easier to come by which allows an exotic holiday away from Europe without creating a massive dent in your holiday budget. Located in North Africa, Egypt also comprises the Sinai Peninsula which acts as a crossroads between Africa and Asia meaning that depending on where you’re staying, you could actually be in either continent. Therefore, if you’re planning to travel around the country, it is always advised to check the visa restrictions in advance as they can vary from place to place. The language spoken here is Arabic and learning a few phrases will go along way when haggling with shopkeepers to avoid getting ripped off, as the Egyptians here can spot a tourist a mile off and will subsequently hike up the prices. However, most of the locals do speak English. The period between March to November has the hottest weather, which usually sees people confined indoors away from the relentless heat and venturing out in the evening when it’s cooler. This is perfect for those who enjoy lazy days by the pool. Why not check the holiday rental homes site to search for your perfect holiday home?
