With natural beauty, ancient history and a thriving modern culture, Egypt has it all. To book a low-cost, last-minute flight to Egypt, simply use the box on the right to find a deal to suit your needs.
For many visitors, the seminal Egyptian experience is a look at the Pyramids at Giza, a tour around the unequalled Egyptian Museum of antiquities in Cairo and a trip down the Nile to see the treasures of Luxor. The latter includes the Valley of the Kings and Abu Simbal.
After these must-see attractions, there is far more to Egypt to explore. Cairo itself is a fascinating city; bustling to the point of chaotic, it still has plenty of charm like the traditional Arabic market of Khan el-Khalili and the Citadel.
The Western Desert is as far removed from the busy streets of Cairo as it is possible to get. It comprises over 600,000 square kilometres of one of the most arid environments on the planet, with strange rock formations, featureless plains, seas of sand and luxuriant oasis. There are many companies offering organised safaris to this beautiful, remote and inhospitable area where the rain may fall only once every five to ten years.
The Red Sea offers another Egyptian experience; a magnet for divers and those who want to learn the sport in calm, warm water amongst an abundance of underwater life, it is also becoming a centre for yoga and health retreats as well as more traditional beach holidays.
