Top tip number two: DIY. Instead of eating out, buy fresh local foods and enjoy picnics. Don’t spend a fortune on entertainment, just chill out. Buy local wines and lounge around watching the world go by. Rediscover what real relaxation’s all about. Walk a lot and take in the scenery. Read books. Sit in the warm sea. Think. Keep life simple, pared down to the bone. Holidays needn’t be active. And chilling will save you a load of cash!    

Top tip number three: Experience life without shopping, our national pastime. You might be surprised how much pointless shopping you do without even consciously realising it, buying stuff just for the sake of it. Give shopping a rest on holiday. Buy the stuff you really need but nothing else. Lie on the beach and enjoy your Egypt holidays to the full without so much as sniffing the inside of a shop.

Egypt becoming the most popular holiday destination in 2011 say Eze Group

(PRWeb UK) January 21, 2011

Eze Group, otherwise known as Regency Shores have released a series of figures through an internet agency, that would appear to indicate that holiday trends are shifting this year.

Ezegroup, a holiday and leisure company that issues its valued customers with an annual allocation of redeemable points have reported a rise in the number of people looking for some pre summer sun in Egypt this year.

In all, 3,000 members jetted off to the ‘Arab Republic’ in North Africa, for a glance at the pyramids, and quite frankly, a break from the UK weather.

“When we look at the travel figures from last year, we can see that there has been a shift in holiday decisions this year, with a rise of almost 50% in the number of people seeking some pre spring sun in Egypt” said a spokesperson for Eze Group (Regency Shores)

“I’m from Ireland and we usually go home for Christmas as a family. This only usually costs us around 50,000 points on the Ezegroup scheme, but we decided we needed some sun after the chaos that the snow had brought to London and the awful weather. Even though the point requirements had dropped to 42,000 by Regency Shores, we opted for Egypt. We needed the sun” said one loyal customer of Regency Shores.

A shift in demand

According to sources close to Eze group, these findings show a real shift in demand for holidays and leisure trips around Christmas time, with Ireland and much of southern Europe having previously been the most popular.

About Regency Shores

Eze Group was formed and incorporated into a private company in the US back in 2001. It began operation soon afterwards. Ezegroup (Regency Shores) allocates its members a certain number of ‘points’ annually, which they are able to redeem to obtain various types of leisure holidays.

Egypt is a famous destination for backpackers and package holidaymakers alike, with its stunning coastline, ancient civilization, vivacious cities and the beautiful Sahara. You could spend weeks or even months touring around its many highlights and there really is something for everyone here; beaches to sprawl out on, diving opportunities galore, hiking in the Sinai and exploration of the splendid temples and pyramids of one of the Worlds most impressive ancient civilizations.
The south of the country is best visited in the winter months as in the summer it is unbearably hot and nearly impossible to travel comfortably. This includes Aswan and Luxor, where so many of the ancient Egyptian sights are to be found.
The summer months are the most favoured time for visitors to the beaches of the Mediterranean coast, though the accommodation at this time is at a premium. Cairo is best visited in the spring and autumn months, so Egypt really is a destination for all year round.
For the backpacker, the best time to visit will be spring or autumn as this will allow trips to most of the countrys sights and regions.
Health-wise – Egypts healthcare service is reasonably good, though any condition needing serious medical care will have to be seen in one of the bigger hospitals in Cairo. There is really only two precautions needed for any diseases in the country and that is Malaria and Dengue fever.
Malaria only exists in the Al-Fayoum area and the rest of the country is not at risk. Dengue fever has been reported over the last ten years and so precautions for this disease will also be needed.
Everyday common sense is needed here as in other countries in Africa, with Schistosomiasis in the rivers and the searing heat and sun. Basically you should just refrain from swimming in the rivers and remember to cover up with sunblock and to keep hydrated. Taking re-hydration pills would be a good idea.
Visas and documents – All western citizens will need a visa to enter Egypt, these can be acquired either on arrival at a port or airport or at a Consulate or Embassy. Proof of Yellow fever vaccination will be needed if you are travelling from an infected area (like most of Sub-Saharan Africa).
It is very easy to get a visa for a visit from the surrounding countries and as tourism is an important part of Egypts economy, there will be no problems that you would encounter in other African nations.
Cost – Egypt is a relatively cheap place to travel in; budget travellers should be able to get by on a daily limit of around $20 per day, which should cover your food, local transport and accommodation. Remember, it does not hurt to spoil yourself with that top restaurant or a night in that lovely hotel you saw, once in a while.
Travel is definitely good value and tours to the oases of the Sahara or to the top of Mount Sinai are also reasonable. Dive shops on the Red Sea coast are plentiful and as the competition is hot, prices are kept low.
The Sights – The Pyramids of Giza are an amazing sight and one which many people see before long. Yes, it is overrun with tourists here, but can you blame them? There are plenty more temples and monuments scattered around the country and even into the North of Sudan (which should not be visited at the moment due to the civil war).
Abu Simbel is like an epicentre of Ancient Egyptian monuments and treasures and although you may have read about the kidnappings and attacks in the area, it is not as bad as the western press likes to make out, though it is best to check with the local tourist office either in Cairo or Aswan.
The Red Sea has got some great dive sites and as previously stated, these are easily accessible and good value. The resorts that are close by, Sharm el Sheikh and Hurghada are cosmopolitan places with visitors from all over the world.
The bombings which happened over the last few years are regrettable, but the locals have the drive to get over these wanton acts of destruction.
The oases of the Sahara Desert are a great place to get away from the crowds of the cities and resorts. Siwa Oasis near the Libyan border is a popular trip, as is Farafra near the White Desert. Both are reasonably easy to reach and offer trips into the expanse of sand.
People often overlook Egypts Islamic past as well as that of the ancients and with some of the best bazaars in the region, Cairo is especially appealing. One of the most buzzing cities in the World, Cairo has great museums and galleries, but the highlight has to be just walking the medieval streets alongside the hawkers and children!

Ask any travel enthusiast and for sure he or she has visited Egypt or it belongs to their “places to visit” list.  Many people think that they should visit Egypt at least once in their lifetime. And true to that, tourism is one of the major industries in Egypt; Egyptians get their sources of income from tourism as tour guides or as an attendant in a souvenir shop. Travelers from all the corners of the globe have toured the terrains of Egypt for more than a hundred of years now.

 

Cairo, Egypt’s capital is a very busy city all day and all night. Egypt has been regarded as the Land of the Pharaohs but there is more than meets the eye. You can visit all the national museums in Egypt and you’ll begin to think that history is not boring at all.
