The most common question that we get regarding our trip to Egypt is about safety. Some do not consider Egypt a safe travel destination currently. Although many do. According to the UK government, "Over 900,000 British nationals visit Egypt every year. Most visits are trouble-free."
Of course I was concerned when we were planning our trip. We did hours of the research and I felt confident that we would be safe. We can't tell you if it is safe to travel to Egypt, but I thought we should address the issue on our blog. Because Matt is such an experienced traveler, I asked him to help me write this post to get the conversation started.
We decided to spend our last full day in Hurghada, Egypt out on the water. We splurged a bit and chartered a fishing boat for the day. It was just the two of us and a crew of four. Our plan was to fish, snorkel, lunch and visit a sand bar. It was the perfect way to spend our final day.
When we were planning our trip to Egypt we decided on the resort of Hurghada rather than the more popular Sharm el Sheikh. The beach resort we selected was the Five Star Palm Royale Soma Bay, the home of Casanova. The reviews on TripAdvisor were overall pretty positive and I found them to also be pretty accurate.
I'm currently editing the photos from our week in Egypt. It was one of our top three trips and I can't wait to tell you more.
I'll start by introducing you to the handsome Casanova who resides at the Palm Royale Soma Bay in Hurghada. This was our home base for our trip and it was a great choice.
