Egypt

Giant pyramids, iconic cities and mile-upon-mile of beaches – holidays to Egypt are in a league of their own. In the race for the title of the world’s top holiday destination, Egypt runs with the elite – more than 12 million tourists flock here every year.

You’ve got the visitors who not just come for the pyramids but for the weather and the beaches. Popular spots like Hurghada, Sharm El Shiekh and Marsa Alam  are places to dip toes in the clear waters of the Red Sea. Expect white beaches that stretch out like party streamers, some of the world’s best scuba diving sites, and every watersport you can think of.

A holiday to Egypt isn’t just about daytime activities, though. Cocktail bars, karaoke spots and bass-pumping nightclubs all help to get things going when the sun goes down, regardless of which part of Egypt you jet off to. In Sharm El Sheikh, the strip’s the place to be – music concerts and foam parties are just a few of the major events here. Hurghada’s Marine Boulevard, meanwhile, offers up everything from traditional belly-dancing shows to family-friendly seafront bars. And over in Marsa Alam, there are loads of swish restaurants to check out.

Only in Egypt can you sail into the sunset on a felucca cruise along the Nile, jump on the back of a camel and ride into Luxor’s Valley of the Kings, then float facing towards the sky in the glittering expanse of the Red Sea. Take a moment as time stands still in Egypt.

Sightseeing trips are best taken between November and March.

Here, charming villages perch in valleys, well-dressed locals promenade by picturesque lakes and palm trees provide an unlikely counterpoint to the mountain views.

Bordeaux, meanwhile, pairs all-night coffee shops with UNESCO-listed and Neoclassical architecture. Over in Nice, you get perfect beaches and a look at the country’s glamorous past.

Turkey

Ancient ruins, glorious beaches and vibrant centres – Turkey’s coastal resorts make for charming summer holidays. Relax on golden sands, barter for a bargain in one of many buzzing bazaars or wander in the shadows of ancient monuments such as Side’s Temple of Apollo. Away from the beach, Istanbul is one of the world’s great cities with its minaret-studded skyline and views over the Bosphorus Strait, while Cappadocia is an otherworldly landscape of cave towns and rock-cut churches.

Turkey’s one of the few countries in the world which straddles two continents. Most of the country sits in Asia, while a far smaller portion’s nestled in south-east Europe. The divide’s most notable in the country’s biggest city, Istanbul, which is literally split in two by the Bosphorus River, with the western side in Europe and the eastern side in Asia. The seaside spot of Side packs in an ancient amphitheatre, Roman baths and a 30-kilometre aqueduct that dates back to the 2nd century AD, while the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ephesus has ruins going back to the 10th century BC.

Turkey’s beach scene is top-notch, and it has the awards to prove it. More than 500 of them have been given Blue Flag status, with the best of the bunch sitting on the west and south-west coast. The Aegean Coast in the west’s home to familiar favourites like Bodrum and up-and coming Izmir, while a shuffle south takes you to the Turkish Riviera, where the likes of Marmaris and Fethiye draw in the crowds.

The Dalaman region on Turkey’s south-west coast – known as the Turquoise Coast – is home to Olu Deniz Beach and the famous Blue Lagoon, making it a great pick.

 

the best time to visit Turkey is in July and August when the temperatures soar into the 30s. For a more explorer-friendly climate, try visiting in April or May when it’s cooler.
