In Egypt, Cairo is considered to be the most luxurious city to visit. This place offers an intriguing combination of ancient past and modern-day luxuries with world-class five-star hotels, fine dining, high-end shopping, and exclusive cultural venues.

Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheik, conversely, are made for dropping into a luxury paradise. These two beach resorts boast of being top-notch in terms of coral beauty, exclusivity, and water sports along the Red Sea.
If history, culture, and luxury are on your map to travel, Cairo is your city. And for sun, sea, and crystal-clear luxury resorts, choose Hurghada or Sharm el-Sheik.
The famous Pyramids of Egypt sit atop must-see sites, with the Great Pyramid of Khufu being the greatest. These wonders, from far ancient times, are the only remnants of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and stand as symbols of the history and culture of Egypt. The Pyramids are located outside Cairo and, together with the Sphinx, receive a great number of visitors on an annual basis, intent upon uncovering Egypt's mythical history.
