Historic Egypt has developed over the years, and you can now step back from the ancient ruins to relax on a memorable beach holiday. Here at Signature, we have selected hotels and resorts that feature everything you would want from a holiday: paradiselike surroundings, super service and great facilities. Amongst the white-sand beaches and clear-blue sea, total relaxation beckons at Soma Bay, El Gouna, Hurghada and Sharm el Sheikh. The sites here are about natural beauty rather than history. While each of these resorts offer the same type of holiday, each has its own highlights.

Sharm el Sheikh - as well as its popularity for diving and snorkelling, Sharm el Shekh is a well developed resort with its Sharks Bay home to the 'Soho Square' entertainment complex and Naama Bay, a lively and vibrant resort with a host of shops and restaurants.

Hurghada - one of the original Red Sea resorts purpose built and developed around an old fishing village. The town itself bursts with colour and activity, and a morning spent shopping and wandering around is an interesting break away from the beach.

El Gouna - set on the edge of the red sand desert, built on islands surrounded by lagoons. The ultra modern marina offers a selection of amenities whilst the town centre is more traditional with shops, bars and restaurants.

Soma Bay - a stunning mountain backdrop this exclusive purpose-built resort has a laid back atmosphere. Particularly popular with golf enthusiasts with the impressive 18-hole championship golf course.

Dive in - take to the sea and feast your eyes on the fantastic marine life that trawl these waters. The unique geographical features of the Red Sea have resulted in the most spectacular coral reefs, attracting divers from all over the world to the marine national parks. With shipwrecks and over 1,000 species of marine life, scuba divers and snorkellers return time and time again, experiencing something different on every visit. If you'd rather stay dry, experience the sights from a glass-bottomed boat.
