Best beaches in Egypt

We really can’t say enough good stuff about beach breaks in Egypt. From fine white sand to beachfront bars, you just can’t go wrong with the sun, sea and sand here. And, oh, the water... To say taking a dip in the Red Sea is heavenly doesn’t even begin to do it justice. Trying snorkelling or scuba diving will also reveal the colourful coral reefs and shining shoals of fish hidden below the waves. From the sheltered Makadi Bay in Hurghada to Sharm El Sheikh’s breathtaking Nama Bay, brochure pictures and Instagram snaps just don’t hold a candle to the beauty of these sandy stretches. Many resorts in Egypt offer private beach areas, too.

We’ve always quite fancied celebrating in the sun, how about you?
