Egypt - Travel Deals

Cairo, Egypt has been described as many things, but no one has ever called it dull. The intellectual heart of the Middle East and one of the historic cradles of civilization, Cairo is a sprawling city of chaos and calm. It is part Africa, part Arabia, part modern and part antiquity and 100-percent worth a visit. If you want to be fascinated on your next holiday, look no further than Egypt.

Alitalia has one heck of a deal on flights to Cairo. You can fly round trip from New York, Boston or Chicago to Egypt’s capital for less than $500 if you book your ticket by December 27, 2006 and fly between January 15 and February 28th, 2007. This airfare is at least a couple hundred dollars cheaper than what you’ll usually find for flights to Cairo so it behooves you to consider traveling to Egypt this winter.

While you are at it, you could make it a truly memorable adventure by taking part in a nine-day tour from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea. If you combine the mayhem of Cairo with the calm of a Red Sea resort and the history of a place like Petra, you might just have found the perfect trip.

If you are of a certain age, you might hear the word Egypt and immediately burst out singing lyrics about walking like an Egyptian. You will then proceed to have that song stuck in your head for the next four months. As painful as this might be, the fact is that you should have Egypt on your mind. It is one of the more fascinating places you could ever visit. Between the utter craziness of Cairo and the history of the pyramids and the warmth of its people, Egypt is an excellent travel destination.

United Airlines has a nifty vacation package to Egypt that won’t set you back too much money and will make you feel better for even thinking about singing that song in the shower.
