A far cry from the ancient landmarks and labyrinth of Unesco World Heritage sites in Luxor and Cairo, expect a cosmopolitan fusion of culture and tradition on an all-inclusive holiday to Egypt’s camel sands. Cost-effective resorts on the Red Sea Riviera are bringing new contenders to the international tourism arena. Think glamourous marinas, thalassotherapy spas and world-renowned scuba diving reefs.
Big-name holiday hotspots with buzzing nightlife scenes such as Hurghada and Sharm El-Sheikh meet the lesser-known rural luxuries of Dahab in Egypt, all fringed by miles of warm turquoise coastline. From kitesurfing over the teeming corals to embracing local Bedouin culture at buzzing bazaars and desert safaris to dramatic national parks, there’s a bucket-list worth of excursions at every stop.
Sun-drenched all year round, Egypt maintains relatively mild temperatures in every season and the option to holiday into November can be well worth your while.
Here are some of the best all-inclusive deals for those just-in-time 2023 trips, and spring stays to look forward to in 2024.

Holidaymakers will find year-round sunshine, ideal for world-renowned scuba diving in the Red Sea, echos of history in the old town of El Dahar, and modern shopping squares in the Sekalla district – it’s no wonder cosmopolitan Hurghada is a holiday hit with Brits.
