Egypt is one of the countries I have visited which I left pleasantly surprised, Amazing tours, Great weather, you don't need much money when your there either which is a great backpacker bonus. Even the flights were ridiculously cheap providing you are flying from Europe, which I was at the time. This trip was on more of a luxurious level, compared to the normal slumming it in the cheapest hostel I can find, now and again I do believe it is good to treat yourself. As you may or may not know hostels are not the easiest of places to unwind and get revitalised, they are amazing for meeting new people and partying but if you want to get a goods night sleep they are not the best. I managed to get a cheap deal staying at a hotel called Jasmine Palace which is in Hurghada, There are taxis driving past the hotel all the time, you can either flag one down at the side of the road or if you are in luck there will already be one waiting there. You don't have to go searching round for ages trying to find somewhere to book your tours as there is a tour guide at your hotel.
Whilst staying here I booked a few tours, I would even go as far as saying some of the best tours I have done were in Egypt. One that is highest ranking up there will definitely be the dolphin tour, you are picked up from your hotel by a mini bus and taken to your boat for the day where lunch is provided on the boat as you spend the day snorkeling the beautiful coral reefs and if you are lucky enough can swim with some wild dolphins to which I was. I am forever grateful for all these special moments I receive on my adventures and I will treasure them all close to my heart.
