Resorts in Egypt

The country of Egypt is teeming with historical landmarks from millennia ago, as well as idyllic landscapes accented by desert regions and breathtaking sunsets. Take a getaway to Northern Africa and stay at the top resorts in Egypt to experience everything from the Great Pyramids of Giza to the historic city of Alexandria to a comfy spot lounging next to the pool at your resort. We’re certain you’ll love everything about your visit to this ancient part of the world.

Tour the ancient city of Alexandria to learn about its origins as a Roman settlement. Founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BCE, this city is rich with history that tells of war, betrayal, and growing knowledge. Take a tour of the Bibliotheca Alexandria, which is built on the former site of the famed Library of Alexandria. The original library burned during a battle in 48 BCE, when Julius Caesar ordered ships in the harbor to be burned and the flames spread to land. Find out what happened to the contents of the original library after the fire and how the current building pays homage to it. Nearby, you can tour the Qaitbay Citadel. This large fortress was built in the 15th century on the site of the famed Pharos Lighthouse and you can learn about both with a tour of the citadel. If you’re interested in learning about mummification and how ancient Egyptians preserved their dead, head underground for a tour of the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa. Whether you’re interested in history or simply need a place to escape for a few days, you’ll love visiting Alexandria and staying at Egypt resorts.

Few civilizations have withstood the test of time like those in Egypt. Luxor is a fascinating city that’s stood for millennia and represents much of that history in tombs that have been discovered in only the last century. The Valley of the Kings was uncovered as part of an excavation expedition in 1922 and is home to tombs of ancient pharaohs, kings, queens, and others from ancient Egypt. Located just outside of Luxor in the Theban hills, you can tour these tombs to learn about the influence these rulers had on history, how they were built, and what was done to preserve them. In town, be sure to pay a worthwhile visit to the Karnak Temple Complex. Here, you’ll be greeted as the ancient visitors to Thebes (the ancient name of the city of Luxor) were with the Avenue of the Sphinxes, decorative columns, and large, ornate statues. Stay at resorts in Egypt for a deep dive into the history of the area or take an opportunity to relax on the shores of the Nile River.

Hurghada is a picturesque coastal hideaway that’s perfect for anyone looking for a place to escape to the coast for a few days. Lounge on the beach of the Red Sea and soak up the Egyptian sun, swim in the turquoise waters and get a bite to eat at a beachfront café. Whether you’re an animal lover or are just curious about sea life, be sure to visit the Hurghada Grand Aquarium. The aquarium features attractions like a rainforest tent, a mini zoo, daily shark feedings, an underwater tunnel, and more. Adults and children can marvel at the underwater world created on land while learning about ocean conservation efforts from around the world. Take a safari into the Eastern Desert to ride ATVs, go dune bashing, or enjoy a quiet camel ride. Guests at the best Egypt resorts will certainly find plenty to fill their time while visiting Hurghada.

Lounge on the beach and sunbathe or tour ancient ruins while staying at the top resorts in Egypt. There are more than enough attractions to keep you busy for days at a time.
