Egypt (Sharm el Sheikh) from £184pp (based on:- Travelling on 10th December 06 from Manchester for 7 nights or 14 nights from £266pp.

Egypt's unassailable position as one of the world's most dazzling destinations is well deserved. Nowhere else on Earth will you find such a wealth of ancient sites, living history and warm, friendly people. 

This land of the Pharaohs promises you a royal welcome. It also promises a warm welcome, too, with scorching summer days cooled by the onshore breezes at the Red Sea resorts. 

Egypt's beach resorts are amongst the most inviting this side of the Caribbean - fine sands, excellent diving and snorkelling, and sleek modern hotel complexes stretch along a sublime coastline with the mountains of Sinai rising dramatically behind. 

Water sports and golf enthusiasts will love it here as, of course, will sun worshippers - the temperature hovers around 27 degrees centigrade (81F) from June to October. Inland things get a lot hotter.  

Egypt's history is inextricably linked to the Nile and, for those choosing a holiday at one of the riverbank's resorts, you can be assured of wonders at every turn. From the country's industrious capital, Cairo, through to the entrancing port of Aswan, you'll experience enormous monuments, each more dramatic than the last. 

At Luxor, the Valley of the Kings hides the great tombs of the pharaohs and the architectural wonder of the Temple of Hatshepsut. At Karnak, royal Egypt's most magnificent complex of temples and monuments seem to be more fit for gods than for humans - as, for the people of ancient Egypt, that's exactly what they considered their pharaohs to be. 

Experience a light and sound spectacular at the pyramids of Cairo and you'll believe them.
