Where to rest
First of all, Egypt is a holiday on numerous beaches on the northern and eastern coasts, washed by the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, respectively. Egyptian resorts attract a huge number of tourists, the blessing that there is plenty to choose from. Usually the choice is made in favor of hotels located on the Sinai Peninsula and the Red Sea coast. The most famous places for recreation - Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh.
Rest in Egypt with children
Families with children and elderly people are recommended to Hurghada, since the beaches here, unlike Sharm El Sheikh bays, are sandy not only ashore, but also in the coastal zone, the descent to the water is gentle, the prices for tourist services are lower. Nevertheless, new hotels in Hurghada, opened after the adoption of the law on the protection of the flora and fauna of the Red Sea, will be able to offer only coral beaches, where swimming is possible only in the presence of bridges, pontoons, and in special shoes.
Leisure
For coral reefs, windsurfing, kitesurfing, snorkeling, underwater hunting and other water sports pleasures, it's better to go to Sharm el-Sheikh. Most of the beaches here are coral, but in some bays and with separate hotels you can find sand on the beach, and at sea. Rest in this part of Egypt is much more expensive. Many hotels have their own coral reefs, which you can visit any resident, just rent a mask and a tube.
Trips on vacation
If you want to rest on the Red Sea shore with an excursion program, then it is easy to do so by purchasing a ticket from the host party or on the street .There are two types of excursions: first - sea, second - trips for sightseeing .Survey of a unique coral reserve in El Gouna, a trip on a boat with a transparent bottom, a trip to the island of Utopia, etc. - a short list of proposed sea entertainment .You can also take part in a jeep trip to the desert or visit the Egyptian capital, Cairo, - these are "ground" excursions .
The Mediterranean is much less likely to become an object of tourist pilgrimage. On the north coast, mostly Egyptians rest. Among the resort cities, Alexandria enjoys the greatest demand, combining the advantages of a Mediterranean resort with Egyptian coloring and a rich historical heritage.

The climate of Egypt or when to go
Egypt is open to tourists all year round. The temperature in the Red Sea does not drop below 20 degrees. Winter and early spring - the most unfavorable time for a beach holiday. A cold wind blows from the sea. And if during the day you can still sunbathe in the sun, you'll have to wear a jacket in the evening. Egyptian summer is not intended for those who plan an extensive excursion program. The best time for sightseeing is from the middle of autumn to April.
