Golf holidays in Egypt

Arguably the world’s first great cultural heritage, Egypt needs no introduction. But head for the sun-drenched Red Sea coastline at any time of year and you can now swap pyramids for putters, diving for driving and temples for panoramic tees. With the arrival of 8 new golf courses in Hurghada’s Soma Bay and its surrounds, areas already popular with scuba divers and kite surfers, Egypt’s coastline is quickly becoming a dream destination for winter golfers. The 5 star hotels here offer indulgent spas, great food and all the water activities you could ask for, and the golf courses range from simple and flat to challenging and lagoon-laden: ideal for players of every standard. Easily accessible from the UK, and fully equipped for a pampering stay, Egypt will soon be synonymous with luxury golf holidays. Get in early before the rush!
