Getting to and around Egypt

There are lots of direct and regional cheap flights to the Red Sea resorts of Marsa Alam, Hurghada, Sharm el Sheikh and Taba Heights as well as to the capital Cairo, Egypt. Internal flights are efficient and an affordable way of combining a break in the capital with a beach stay. Long distance coach travel is good but distances can be long. There are plenty of cheap taxis and cheap transfers operating within cities and resorts too.

Egypt beaches

Beach lovers are spoilt for choice on the Red Sea Riviera. Sharm el Sheikh has become so popular with Brits that some have even dubbed it "the new Benidorm". An upmarket alternative is El Gouna, which is less than one hour from Hurghada. With international hotels, affordable accommodation, child-friendly facilities and year-round sunshine, the Red Sea offers everything that you'd expect for a short haul holiday. If you want an alternative, head for some of the new resorts along Egypt's Mediterranean coast such as Almaza Bay and its up-and-coming neighbours, which are served by Marsa Matrouh airport.
