What to see?
In Sharm el-Sheikh, tourists will enjoy the beauty of the Ras Mohammed National Park, where you can go snorkeling among coral and flocks of brightly colored fish. Walking through the Old Market, it is impossible to resist the aroma of oriental sweets and spices, and the architectural mosque Al-Sahaba fascinates with its grandiosity. Adventurous travelers can enjoy boat trips, scuba diving or quad safaris through the desert.
Hurghada welcomes guests with a relaxed atmosphere and the picturesque New Marina with yachts, restaurants and evening lights. Don't miss the chance to travel to Luxor to see Hatshepsut Temple, Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings. For beach vacations and snorkeling, the islands of Giftun and Mahmaya are ideal. A jeep ride to the Bedouins is an opportunity to experience the traditions of the desert.
Tips for tourists
The sun in Egypt is active all year round, so do not forget to use sunscreen even in winter. Tips are a sign of gratitude, they are usually left in restaurants, hotels and taxis. Be careful and follow the guide's advice, especially during excursions. When visiting mosques, it is important to wear modest clothing that covers the shoulders and knees. Trading in the markets is almost an obligatory ritual, sellers love it. In order not to overpay for the Internet, you should buy a local SIM card right at the airport.
The main religion of Egypt is Islam (Sunni). This is reflected in the culture and rules of conduct. Do not photograph locals without permission, avoid hugging and kissing in public, and when visiting mosques, be sure to take off your shoes and dress accordingly.
The official currency is the Egyptian Pound (EGP). One tenge is equal to about 0.10 pounds, but the exchange rate may vary. It is better to change money in banks or official exchangers. Cards are often accepted in tourist places, but cash is useful in shops and markets.
A free Sinai Stamp (Sinai Only) is available for Kazakh citizens upon entry to Sharm el-Sheikh, which allows them to stay within the Sinai Peninsula for up to 15 days. If you plan to travel outside its borders — for example, to Cairo or Luxor — or arrive in Hurghada, you will need a visa on arrival. It is issued at the airport, costs about $ 25 and is valid for up to 30 days.
The sun, the sea, the pharaohs and the luxury of the East — Egypt knows how to surprise. And Sunday Airlines will get you there comfortably and with care — your vacation starts right on board!
