A Review Of Resorts In The Red Sea

By:


Egypts recent upheavals may have led to the universally celebrated establishment of a truly democratic state, but times such as these can take their toll on a nations tourist industry. Recent reports show nearly a quarter of a million travellers cut short their Egyptian holiday during the upheaval, and in a country where over two million people are employed in the tourism industry, that can be a bitter financial pill to swallow. On the other hand, Egypt is a very large country, and if you weren’t in one of the big cities such as Cairo, tourists were perfectly safe throughout.

Actually, many places away from the big cities, for example the resorts around the Red Sea, might even have benefited slightly from the upheaval, with holidaymakers capitalising on the bonanza of cheap holidays that were on offer during the upheaval. While the storm is very much over, and Egypt can look forward to an exciting new future under democratic rule, these safe havens have enjoyed a new lease of life, and you can still find heavily discounted fares. One of the most popular Red Sea resort areas is Sharm El Sheikh, an area that can lay claim to spotless sandy beaches, stunning weather, and fantastic facilities. So, without further ado, here is a guide to some of the best hotels in the region.

The Radisson Blu Resort. This luxury five star hotel on the Sinai Peninsula can lay claim to three swimming pools, 3 competition standard tennis courts, several gyms and running tracks, and a centre for diving upon its 30 acres of private land. If you are the type of person who likes to do a lot of exercise, then this hotel should be at the top of your wish list.

Ritz Carlton. As a brand, Ritz Carlton are very highly regarded amongst holidaymakers, and the Ritz Carlton in Sharm el Sheikh does not let the side down. At the Ritz Carlton Sharm el Sheikh you can enjoy lush palm gardens, rivers, a private beach, and the hotels very own coral reef and diving centre. If you fancy treating yourself, there are many spas and shops where you can while away a morning or afternoon, as well as a massage tent overlooking the Red Sea.

The Iberotel Lido. If you cannot quite stretch to one of the above hotels, or are particularly drawn to hotels with swimming pools on the roof, this hotel could be right up your street. It is set on a small plateau overlooking Na ama Bay, with breathtaking views available from the roof deck. Just 2 minutes away is the hotels own diving centre, and golf, mountain biking, and horse riding can all be easily reached.
