We will help you learn about the best Egypt vacation spots, and tell you all you need to know about each of them.

1- Sharm El Sheikh:
Sharm El Sheikh is one of the best holiday destinations in Egypt for countless reasons. To begin with, its nature is so beautiful with the mountains that you can find along the Red Sea that have marvelous colors, which gradually change to different shades of brown, red, and yellow. Plus, if you get into the water, you will be mesmerized by the amazing colors and species of the different fish and coral reefs.
People holidaying in Sharm El Sheikh generally head to Saint Catherine for the breathtaking scenes of the mountains, and visit the St. Catherine Monastery and all the religious sites there. If you’re athletic enough, you can even decide to hike up the mountain.
Sharm El Sheikh is perfect for all seasons, especially spring and fall. Winter is also a great time to visit, which is from December to February when the weather is warmer than Cairo, and the water is not too hot.
Spring (March – May) and Fall (September – November) are the times of the perfect weather, it’s perfectly warm and the water temperature is just perfect.
Summer is good too, even though it gets really hot, but it’s nothing that a splash in the water cannot cure!

2- Dahab:
Dahab is one of the most beautiful holiday places in Egypt for relaxation, taking a break from life, and enjoying a mesmerizing view. Famous for its Bedouin life and exciting water sports, people visit it from all around the world to enjoy the inexplicable serenity that it offers.
Blue Hole is a diving area some kilometers north of Dahab (pretty close), that people visit to dive. What makes it a special diving and snorkeling area is the clearly visible blue spot of water in the sea. It is considered one of the best places for freediving, as it is accessible from the shore. People visiting generally go to Ras Mohammed and the Blue Lagoon on the same shore. The Blue Lagoon is a beautiful and somewhat secluded beach that is the epitome of serenity and relaxation.
Eel Garden is also another amazing place for diving, and it is special because of the eels that live in the water. They come out and swim around, but once the divers approach them, the eels disappear again.
