As a part of its weekly attractions recommendations, Sada Elbald English (See) is so delighted to bring you its best Egypt's Attractions for 2022 list– a stunning three Egypt's attractions for a new year of travel.

World best attraction recommendations are hardly new, but Egypt seems to be the new hot place to visit this year. No matter who you talk to or no matter which Social Media app you’re browsing, the scenic landscapes of Marsa Matrouh, Sharm El-Sheikh, the impressive buildings of ancient Egyptians, and the mesmerizing shores of the Red Sea, great Egypt seems to be everywhere.

After writing about Egypt’s significant attractions in detail, it’s time to sum up the most wonderful and best things to do in the country.

Marsa Matrouh

Sitting on the western edge of Egypt's Mediterranean sea coast, Marsa Matrouh city offers incredible Greek and Roman ruins without any of the crowds. As if that’s not enough, any visitor can also head into the Drowned Palace of Cleopatra. or Rommel's Hideout cave to add a dose of nature to your special adventure.

Luxor

Luxor is always cited as the richest source of marvelous archaeological Islamic and ancient pharaohs treasures on the planet. In addition to this, it is expansive and from a different era and culture than renowned Pharaoh's rulers, so don’t write it off before you go.

Trains from Cairo Railways Station in Ramsis square leave frequently to make the 6 hours trip to Luxor. Sometimes, most visitors arrive on a three-day trip but staying there a week is even better. Visitors will get to see a number of pharaoh temples such as Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, and Tombs of the Nobles in the early morning and late afternoon when they’re at their quietest. Sunset in particular is stunning and a great reason not to leave too early.

No trip to Luxor would be complete without a visit to the Deir el-Bahari (Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut) and acknowledgment of its position as a cradle of Egyptian civilization. Learning about this part of human history shows how far we’ve come as a world—and reminds us how far we still have to go.

Sharm El-Sheikh

If you’re looking for an Egyptian getaway but aren’t quite ready to assimilate into city life yet, the Sharm El-Sheikh coastal city can be your perfect solution. Vacation rentals in the city which is lying on the southern edge of the Sinai Peninsula and the coastal strip along the Red Sea are common as well as and affordable so visitors have a little extra space when they want privacy. Many have stunning beach access, or even private pools so you can take advantage of the climate.

Naama Bay is the largest of the Sharm Elshikh resorts, making it the obvious choice if you intend to stay for a while. The landscape varies from coastline to coral reefs to forest, so you’ll never be bored, and there’s everything from party cities to small villages to explore. Pro tip: even if your rental has a kitchen, allow plenty of flexibility to stop in Ras Mohammed oasis and Ras Om El Seid bars, too.
