Red Sea Beach Holidays


africa
Red Sea holidays offer golden sand beaches and superb diving and snorkelling opportunities over stunning coral reefs. The traditional towns of Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh are complimented by newer purpose built resorts dotted along the coast.

Hurghada and the surrounding resorts of Sahl Hasheesh, Soma Bay and El Gouna can easily be combined with Luxor, ideal for those wanting to visit the wonders of the Nile Valley followed with a stay by the Red Sea.

Sharm El Sheikh is just a short flight from Cairo and is the perfect spot for a relaxing beach holiday after a visit to Egypt’s bustling capital city. A number of flights also operate from the UK directly to Sharm El Sheikh.

Trailfinders offers a range of Red Sea holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to combine your beach break with a more in depth exploration of Egypt on a multi centre holiday or simply find the best luxury hotel for a relaxing beach holiday – they are the perfect people to ask.
