Holidays in Ra's Gharib

When chucking a sickie becomes your new norm, it's time to abandon the corporate cubicle and say hello to Ra's Gharib!

It sits 260 kilometres southeast of Cairo, the capital city of Egypt.

Fancy a little beach therapy? Taste the salty sea breeze on your lips as you unwind to the soothing sounds of the ocean at El Tur Beach. It's the best kind of medicine, and it's totally free!

El-Tur is 55 kilometres to the east and worth a day trip. Want some more ideas? Red Sea and Sinai, 80 kilometres to the northeast of Ra's Gharib, should be your next stop.

Tourists and locals alike often make the trip to St. Catherine. This place is 90 kilometres to the east and quite close to Mt. Sinai, Saint Catherine's Monastery and Mount Sinai. If you're staying on a while, remember to visit St Catherine's Monastery and St Katherine Protectorate.

When it comes to relaxing pursuits, hardly anything beats getting outside and going shore fishing or picnicking.

Leave the organising to your guide as you make new friends on wildlife spotting tours and city walking tours.

You don't have to be a bird to fly high above the land below. Parasailing is an astonishing way to experience sweeping views of the place.

Whether you're paddling in it, floating on top of it or whizzing across it, not much beats being near the water. You can choose from a number of watersports here, including swimming and snorkeling.

Check out what's going on at the region's art museums, history museums and art galleries. There are a few of them, so it's worth doing your research!

This part of the world has a unique cooking style based on local tastes and available ingredients. Fava beans and rice are regularly used in much of the fare.

No self-respecting food fan would leave Ra's Gharib without eating a few of the specialty dishes, such as lamb kofta and mezze.

If you've built up a thirst and would like to indulge in a glass of amber nectar, we suggest Luxor. Go out for happy hour, make some new friends and drink in the atmosphere!

A flavoursome glass of vino can round out any tasty meal, and the best regional drops can't be missed. Rubis D’Egypte rosé and Chateau des Reves red are the top picks here.
