Egypt is quickly becoming a popular holiday destination for UK residents. In these hard times destinations like Egypt are being offered at a next to nothing to price. Saying that though how good is Egypt and what does it have to offer apart from the cheaper prices?

Egypt is has good weather throughout most of the year and a number of interesting sites to visit like:

• Pyramids
• Water Sports
• Safari
• Good nightlife

A number of groups are now using Egypt as a destination for stag and hen events as the nightlife is booming and there is lots of fun to be had.

World Cup fever is hitting hard. 2010 will see the football world cup being held in Cape Town, South Africa. Thousands will descend on South Africa from all over the world to enjoy the different countries competing in one of the major sports competitions of the world. This will bring huge amount of tourism and income to the country of South Africa.

South Africa as a country is known to be a beautiful and exotic and very natural. They are famous for the wildlife reserves and the well preserved countryside. There are some amazing sites and attractions to see when in South Africa like:

• Sun City
• Cape Town
• Wildlife Reserves
• Water Parks
• Johannesburg

2010 World Cup will be a spectacular event held in one of the most beautiful countries of the world. This is well worth the time and money to go and see.

A couple of years ago I embarked on a holiday to Tunisia with friends. The appeal was the nice hotel displayed on the web and brochures with some pretty good reviews. It wasn’t very costly to say we had just come out of our student lives. Weather at the time of year was very hot and it seemed like a very nice place to visit. Not a huge amount in terms of attractions but it was to be more of a relaxing holiday than anything else. We booked it as an all inclusive to ensure that we wouldn’t have to worry about being fed and watered.

By the tone of this post I am sure you can tell where this is going. Disaster struck the minute we got into our room. First off the room had not been cleaned and the bell boy tried to disguise the fact by making us wait outside while he did some quick running around. A complaint to reception resolved nothing and we had to stay the night in the room given there was no other option. The next day we went to lodge a complaint which resulted in us being given a better room with a better view aswell, however this room has just been vacated and again they were reluctant to clean it. A full day of going back and forth to reception finally got the room cleaned and us settled in.

Food and drink was of poor and shoddy quality and this ultimately combined with their lack of hygiene ended in me and friends falling very ill. Our time together was spoilt and we came back miserable. Thumbs down Tunisia.

Ever wanted to do something totally different? See a whole new culture? Experience life in a totally different way?

India is now becoming a more and more popular destination for UK travellers. India offers a wide variety of experiences and culture to anyone with an open mind (the weathers great too). Depending on where you go in India you can see different extremes of life from the rich to poor right down to the 100s of farmers.

There hundreds of attractions to see from places of religion to the scenic and traditional views of life. Here are some of the large attractions:

• Delhi
• Agra
• Taj Mahal
• Goa
• Mumbai

India can give you a memory and experience of a lifetime.

The recession is hitting hard. Thousands of people are out of jobs, industries are struggling and the country’s economy is failing. In the midst of all the doom and gloom UK residents still like to holiday. Staying home is going to be a major option for the people of the UK. There are many destinations in UK that could tickle your fancy but there is one in particular I would like to talk about.

I recently went to Edinburgh with my girlfriend for about 4 days. Stayed in a very nice welcoming hotel on the Royal Mile which is an excellent location and within walking distance of some major attractions like:

• Edinburgh Castle (Amazing views and very historical)
• Edinburgh Dungeons (Scary and funny at the same time)
• Edinburgh Zoo

There is so much to do in Edinburgh aswell as shopping and sites. There are whole host of bars, restaurants and unique food places to try. Four days was about right for us as we saw everything we wanted to see and managed to relax in a welcoming city.

Thumbs up to Edinburgh.
