Egypt is one of the world's great travel destinations, with flights from Liverpool Airport to Hurghada, Sharm el-Sheikh and Cairo. Plan your private airport transfer for your Egypt holiday.
Egypt is one of the world's most compelling travel destinations — a country of extraordinary ancient monuments, warm Red Sea waters, vibrant cities and a culture that has shaped human civilisation for thousands of years. Flights from Liverpool Airport serve several Egyptian destinations, making Egypt accessible for both beach holidays and cultural trips from the north-west of England.
About Egypt as a holiday destination
Egypt offers two quite different holiday experiences, and many visitors combine both:
Red Sea beach resorts — Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh are the main beach resort destinations, offering warm, clear water, excellent diving and snorkelling, all-inclusive hotels and a well-developed tourist infrastructure. The Red Sea is one of the world's premier diving destinations, with exceptional coral reefs, diverse marine life and year-round warm water temperatures.
Cultural and historical Egypt — Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and the Nile Valley contain some of the most important ancient monuments in the world. The Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, the temples of Karnak and Luxor, the Valley of the Kings, Abu Simbel and the temples along the Nile are among the most visited historical sites on earth.
Many visitors to Egypt combine a Red Sea beach stay with a Nile cruise or a few days in Cairo, creating one of the most varied and memorable holiday experiences available.
