Active holidays in Egypt

Egypt is a top destination for an active holiday, whether you are looking for diving and watersports or more unusual activities such as desert treks and camel rides.

For an active holiday that combines sun, sea and sand you can head to top Red Sea scuba diving resorts such as Sharm el-Sheikh, Marsa Alam and El Gouna.

For fishing, the legendary River Nile has some of the largest freshwater fish in the world, and also makes an ideal place for a sailing excursion on a traditional felucca boat.

And for one of the most amazing ways of seeing the Egyptian monuments from the air, you can take in ancient Luxor with a hot air balloon ride.
