Holidaymakers, diving enthusiasts, as well as conference and incentive organisers, are again being lured by the Red Sea`s mix of sun, sand, surf, and a wide choice of historical sites and outdoor pursuits, from snorkeling and scuba diving to desert safaris and horse riding.
German guests staying recently at the Holiday Inn Resort Safaga Palace enthused about its facilities, service, and convenient location. The resort is just 30 minutes from Hurghada Airport – which receives charter flights, and is just a 50-minute flight from Cairo – while the ancient settlement of Luxor is just a two-and-a-half hour drive away.
Hotelier, Martin Zugman from Bonn, enjoying a three-week visit with his wife, Thea, said: We made good use of the beaches, and even formed a birdwatching group of guests for Crocodile Island. We felt safe and welcome at all times, and will be back next winter, maybe with friends from Germany and The Netherlands.
Event manager and artist`s agent, Daniel Kottnauer, from Essen, stayed two weeks with his girlfriend, and said: We had no fear of coming to Egypt and went diving, experienced a Jeep safari and look forward to coming back for a trip on the Nile.
Stephan Bucheim, a first time visitor to Egypt from Berlin, spent five days just resting at the Holiday Inn Resort Safaga Palace. He said: It`s a wonderful country with friendly people.
