Egypt-bound
online travel insurance customers can enjoy a wealth of adrenaline-pumping experiences while on holiday, says a travel expert.
The Egyptian State Tourist Office recommends a visit to Red Sea Riviera for diving or snorkelling, while many resorts offer a range of watersports, such as sailing lessons, windsurfing or parasailing.
A spokesperson for the office noted that many hotels are located directly on the beach, some of which have their own dive centres or even house reefs.
History buffs, meanwhile, can enjoy boat trips down the Nile or through Luxor's Valley of the Kings in a traditional felucca horse-drawn carriage, she suggested.
Recent figures revealed by The Co-operative Travel earlier this month (October 13th) indicate that half-term holidays to the popular Sharm El Sheikh resort have increased by 142 per cent this year.
The pound falling to a six-month low against the Euro may have contributed to the destination's recent rise in popularity, added the travel firm.
