When asking an Egyptian about the meaning of a true holiday in Egypt, Al Ain El-Sokhna beach or a North coast night out are destined for your encounter. However, after numerous captivating expeditions throughout the true gems of Egyptian locations, it is my very obligation to provide you with a glimpse into the wonders of the immense treasures lying in plain sight.
The Miracle of Ras Mohamed
Being one of oldest natural reserves in Egypt, it is no surprise that Ras Mohamed offers an unmatched variety of attractions.
While ocean admirers can experience a staggering array of distinctive marine life within the serene beaches, venturous souls may delve into a camping journey in the awe-inspiring sands.
Another essential visit is what is known as the ‘Earth Crack’, a fissure formed during an earthquake thousands of years ago. Distinguishing this fracture are the peculiar species that have grown to adapt to the nature of the dark habitat ranging blind shrimp to glowing fish.
Halayeb and Shalateen and More
Settling in the far south is a region an Egyptian ear is familiar with, but none have come to realize the exceptional value that comes with it. Although Halayeb and Shalateen is no stranger to fascinating beaches, setting it apart is the renowned hiking track of mountain Elba.
Encapsulating a wide myriad of ecosystems, a constant cool climate and a cloud caressing summit, the Elba mountain has proven to be more than a mundane highland.
The Secrets of Siwa Oasis
Despite gaining a significant amount of spotlight in recent years, the oasis of Siwa is yet to be considered a holiday staple, as its mass of cultural and medical wealth is one of great worth.
Known for its ancient sand burial treatment and enchanting floating salt lakes, the oasis does not run shy of ethnical value, for it is the only region in Egypt where the rare race of the Amazigh (descendants of the pre-Arab inhabitants of North Africa) resides.
Moreover, unparalleled architectural and cooking techniques conquering the oasis, only adds to its cultural worth.
Finally…Cairo
Contrary to popular belief, the busy city of Cairo offers more than just a few malls, for within the corners of this vast expanse lie several unique experiences.
Merging between the ancient Arab art of the tenora and modern-day technology is the enthralling Ghoreya Tenora show, which has not failed to dazzle both tourists and locals alike.
Looking for an unusual adrenaline rush? A skydive and paraglide session should do the trick. Skydiving is one way to go, but quad biking across the dunes of the Giza pyramids is sure to get the blood flowing too.
Conclusion
To conclude, we are residents in a treasure trove of remarkable gems, but it is something of a duty for all Egyptians and foreigners to witness the true beauty of such gems in order to appreciate its full glory.
