Sailing Activity Holiday in Egypt

Sailing holidays in Egypt has the following options – you can either take the Feluccas − the backpacker option; Sandals − sailing with facilities and comfort or Dahabiyyas − even more comfort and for bigger groups. Arouse your adventurous spirit sailing by felucca through Egypt’s “open-air museum” from Aswan to Luxor. We start in Cairo – as no trip to Egypt would be complete or fulfilling without seeing the only remaining wonder of the ancient world…the Great Pyramids of Giza. You will not only explore these ancient tombs but also visit the enigmatic Sphinx, Memphis (the first capital of ancient Egypt) and Sakkara (its expansive necropolis), the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, Coptic Cairo (including the Hanging Church and Ben Ezra Synagogue), the Citadel of Salah el-Din and the mosque of Mohamed Ali.
When in Egypt, dinghy sailing holidays in Dahab takes place in a specially designated area 10 minutes walk along the beach. Summer months bring strong winds which may limit the extent to which beginners can enjoy sailing. However the rest of the year provides great conditions for sailors of all abilities. The wind created by desert thermals, generally picks up mid morning and drops again mid afternoon, blowing cross-offshore. This is especially evident in the summer months when Dahab is at its windiest. Birding is another popular activity. Besides the Nabq Nature Reserve, the most popular place to see Egypt's huge variety of shore birds is Lake Borolos, about 90 minutes east of Alexandria or west of Port Said on the Mediterranean coast. There are no accommodations or eateries at Lake Borolos, so stay nearby in Rosetta or Baltim and rent a boat for a day trip.
