Hurghada is a multifaceted destination for your last minute holidays to Egypt. While the city itself is an Oasis of fancy resort hotels and resort water borne entertainment with a nightlife second to none in the region, you can head out into the nearby desert for a totally different and more traditional view of this beautiful and exotic country filled with centuries old history and ancient traditions.

Experience a desert excursion on camels, horses and jeeps out into the desert traveling among endless sand dunes and rugged mountains. While you are out there you will have the opportunity to have a completely traditional Bedouin lifestyle experience when you spend a few evenings under the bright revealing desert sky filled with stars at a Bedouin camp. You will enjoy genuine desert hospitality, traditional entertainment, and food.

While in Hurghada on your last minute holidays to Egypt, you are within traveling distance for a day trip to Luxor on the East Bank of the Nile River. Luxor is frequently referred to as “world’s greatest open air museum”, as the ruins of the temple complexes at Karnak and Luxor are visitable within the border of this modern Egyptian city. Across the River Nile, lie the monuments, temples and tombs on the West Bank Necropolis. This area includes the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens. International tourists usually make it a point to include a visit to these ancient monuments.
