Enjoy Short Breaks Or Cheap Holidays To Sharm El-Sheikh

Friday, September 10th, 2010

Nestled between the Red Sea and the peaks of Mount Sinai, cheap holidays to Sharm El Sheikh provide golden beaches, aquamarine waters, and sun-soaked sojourns on a shoestring .Sharm El-Sheikh adds a touch of wonder and adventure to the exotic. For the feeling that you have stepped into a different world, there is no place better.

 

You will be feeling spoilt for choice on your trip to Sharm El-Sheikh. Safaris, casinos, and long countryside drives exist alongside the languid beaches and exotic sea life.  There are many guided tours to the mystical deserts that separate the deep blue seas from Sinai’s mountain ranges.  In addition, the peninsula has some of the finest diving spots in the world, which cater equally to beginner and expert divers, snorkelers, and sailors. Beyond resort life, camel trekking and quad bike riding into the desert and country are highly recommended and of course, a trip to the legendary Mount Sinai.  Those looking to unwind should try the sulphur spas, known for their healing properties and cleansing effects.

 

The area has been redeveloped since the 60’s and today stands as a modernised, resort city. Along with the usual sights such as Hard Rock Cafe’s, the city boasts some fantastic modern architecture, promenades and amenities, along with several luxury hotels. Amazingly, just 50 years ago Sharm El-Sheikh was nothing more than a sleepy fishing village with less than 100 inhabitants.

 

This is the perfect holiday destination for those looking to mix some adventure with sun, sea and sand. It is amazing to think that over nine thousand British tourists are in the region on any given day, but with an average of 13 hours of sunlight per day and temperatures ranging from 20c to 35c all year round, and it’s easy to see why.

 

If you think all there is to Turkey are beaches and resorts, then you’re mistaken. It offers a fascinating insight into city life in such a vastly different culture. With skyscrapers soaring over its financial district, world class sporting venues such as the F1 track and Attaturk Stadium, as well as traditional markets, you will not find enough hours in the day to fit everything in. Istanbul bucks the trend of many other major european cities with its inexpensive food and shopping, meaning cheap holidays to Turkey don’t just mean the flights.

 

For something similar that’s a bit closer to home though, why not plana visit to Crete? Cheap holidays to Crete are available year round and the destination remains a popular destination. Just like Sharm El-Sheikh, you will find gorgeous coastlines and golden beaches on the island of Crete!
