Hurghada stretches for miles along the Red Sea, with resort hotels on sandy beaches and a lively marina. Boat trips run daily to the Giftun Islands for snorkelling and white sand, and the reefs suit beginners and experienced divers alike.

El Gouna, a lagoon town to the north, is good for kitesurfing and canal side restaurants. Luxor and its temples are about four hours away by road, so you can combine a beach week with ancient Egypt.

The weather is sunny all year, with hot summers and warm winters.
