Egypt remains a firm favourite for travellers flying out from Manchester or Liverpool, offering a reliable escape from the British weather.

With a vast range of package options, you can easily find a resort that caters to your specific needs. From the famous shoreline of Sharm El Sheikh to the family-oriented hubs of Hurghada, the destination is perfectly set up for those who want a seamless, stress-free break.

Beaches and Resort Life

The main draw for most travellers is the coastline. Sharm El Sheikh, with its various districts like Nabq Bay and the Hadaba area, is renowned for its beachfront resorts that make it easy to transition from your sun lounger to the water. Hurghada and the wider Red Sea region are equally popular for their wide stretches of sand and accessible swimming areas. Whether you are in a high-energy resort with a sprawling water park or a quiet boutique hotel on a cliffside, the turquoise waters are the star of the show.

Getting There and When to Go

Egypt is highly accessible for UK holidaymakers, with frequent flight connections departing from major hubs including Manchester and Liverpool. Most package holidays take care of your transfers, meaning you can get from the plane to your hotel room with minimal fuss. While the region is warm year-round, the shoulder seasons—spring and autumn—are often considered the sweet spot for those who want to avoid the intense midday heat of the summer months while still enjoying high temperatures and long days.

Food, Activities, and Who It Suits

Life in these resorts typically revolves around convenience. Most hotels offer all-inclusive packages that take the guesswork out of meal planning, featuring a mix of international buffets and local flavours. Away from the pool, the Red Sea is a playground for water sports enthusiasts. You can spend your days snorkelling in the clear waters or exploring the local coastline. For those interested in a bit of culture, trips can often be organised to inland locations such as Luxor to experience the historical side of the country. It is a destination that suits almost everyone; families will appreciate the dedicated water parks in resorts like Pickalbatros Aqua Vista Resort, while couples can find plenty of privacy in the adults-only settings of Sharm El Sheikh.
