Egypt could be said to have six different tourist super-sites.
Each has its own flavor, and mostly each serves a different
purpose. Most of these tourist areas do not depend on ancient
monuments to sustain them. In fact, only Luxor is completely
dependent on this trade. These super-sites consist of:
1.
Cairo, and the area around the City.
Cairo has everything, great hotels, entertainment, restaurants,
all manner of monuments from throughout the history of Egypt
and it is often the entry point for most people visiting Egypt. http://touregypt.net/cairo1.htm
Cairo
at Night
2.
Alexandria, and the area around the City.
In fact this area extends to Marsa Matruh to the west on the
coast.
The area has a Mediterranean feel about it, and the attraction
is the Mediterranean Sea. http://touregypt.net/alex.htm
4.
Red Sea.
Particularly El Gouna, Hurghada and Safaga, and these areas
contain just about everything a tourist would like to have,
with the exception of ancient monuments. They make up for
that with every variety of water sports, several golf courses
and more. http://touregypt.net/redsea.htm
Corals
5.
Sharm El Sheikh, and the surrounding area .
This is the Sinai super-site, with most everything any tourist
might wish. There are even some wonderful Christian monuments
nearby, and the water sports, as at Hurghada, are all inclusive. http://touregypt.net/sharm/
Sharm El Sheikh
6. Sinai. Sinai is where rock meets coral reef and
the desert stops at the sea.
It is the grandeur of granite meeting golden beaches. Here,
you will find great cities like El-Arish, Dahab, Noweiba, and
Rafah. http://touregypt.net/sinai.htm
