SightseeingWhen the biting winter cold sets in, the shores of Egypt, stretching unpolluted for miles and miles, bask in the warmth of the sun that has deserted other shores to shine only here, honouring, it seems, the ancient days when the sun was an Egyptian deity.
Despite the passage of time, the sun still remains friendly to Egypt, and invites you to enjoy a winter warmth away from the bitter snowy cold, and a pleasant summer breeze far from the oppressive midday heat.
Egypt, a world renowned winter resort, has beautiful and numerous beaches. Its northern coast from Sallum to Rafah is 1181 km. long; its eastern coastline, from Suez to Halayeb, is some 1085 km. long; while the shores on the Gulfs of Suez and Aqaba teem with the most exquisite beaches, spectacular coral reefs and large varieties of coloured fish, rarely found elsewhere. Anyone who has seen but a part, must return many times to feast his eyes and fill his heart with these attractive images that will forever remain stamped in the memory, as if one were viewing the most exquisite paintings on earth.
