Safaga
Once a tidy merchant port on the coast of the Red Sea, in recent years Safaga has developed into an attractive and popular resort town known for water sports, relaxation and rejuvenation. Sun lovers and sportsmen are attracted to its magnificent bay, islands and beautiful beaches. It has also become one of the most popular therapeutic destinations in the region due to the restorative and curative powers of its mineral and saline rich springs and sea water, and an amazingly pure atmosphere. Nightlife consists of a good meal at a local restaurant, catching a sunset and maybe an impromptu beach party organised by local divers and surfers.

Sharm el Sheikh
Often called 'The City of Peace', Sharm El Sheikh is a splendid beach community that gets right down to the basics - sun, sea and sand. The town's cluster of beachfront hotels are surrounded by colourful Bedouin tents, mountains and sea. Temperatures are typically hot in the summer but it is quite warm and pleasant in winter, and year-round Sharm El Sheikh offers enough activities, sports, shopping and entertainment to guarantee no visitor will ever find himself bored. No wonder it's considered one of the most accessible tourist destinations on the Sinai peninsula.

Alexandria
Founded by its namesake, Alexander the Great, in 332 B.C., Alexandria has been home to many historical figures, including Cleopatra, Mark Antony, Julius Caesar and Euclid. Today the city has a distinctly Mediterranean feel, perhaps a leftover of its ancient Roman connection. The charming seaside promenade, colonial buildings and wide avenues make it an exotic, romantic destination.

Barcelona
Barcelona is located in the northeastern part of the country, 90 miles south of the French border. People from all around the world enjoy visiting this city for its individuality, cultural interest and physical beauty. When Hans Christian Andersen visited in 1862, he remarked that Barcelona was the 'Paris of Spain'. You're likely to agree. The city is a major cultural centre with a fascinating history. Archives, libraries, museums and buildings of interest - plus superb examples of modernist and Art Nouveau décor and architecture - can be found all over the city.
