Dear tourist, do you love exciting journeys? Do you want to enjoy mountain climbing? What about an exhilarating adventure and an enchanting night in the desert? Do you want to stay at state-of-the art hotels?

So let’s go to Thebes; an ancient city and, for centuries, capital of ancient Egypt. It is the most important city in Sinai Peninsula and the nearest one to Sharm El Sheikh. It is also called “Riviera of the East”. It is one of 12 tourist hubs in the Gulf of Aqaba, an arm of the Red Sea between the Sinai Peninsula and northwest Saudi Arabia. Thebes has been the subject of much remarkable attention in the framework of the Egyptian tourist development strategy seeking to integrate efforts and promote tourist infrastructure in distant Egyptian cities.

Tourists who look for a life of welfare, at the most majestic and world-class hotels, can find Thebes the ideal destination. It has about 10 hotels, including Hilton Thebes, Holiday Inn resort of the intercontinental chain of hotels, accommodating 172 rooms and entirely overlooking the sea. In addition, tourists can enjoy several amenities, such as horseback and camel riding, swimming pools, health spas, distinctive child clubs and a rich variety of restaurants. However, hotel accommodation prices vary among different seasons.

Dear tourist, what about camping, the most popular activity, at both local and international levels. If you are fond of camping, Thebes is the ideal destination for a tourist to spend many nights in its charming desert. Here, Bedouins erect tents that are firmly closed at bedtime, security at a very reasonable cost that does not exceed L.E.200 in seven nights, excluding food charges. In addition, tourists can enjoy delicious roasted meals, dancing, listening to bedouin traditional music, mountain climbing to explore the grotesque nature of mountains. Thebes is blessed with a chain of mountains that serve as a shield against storms, heavy rains and all manifestations of weather change. Like other cities in Sinai Peninsula, Thebes is bestowed with sun all the day along, hence featuring a moderate climate, pure and fresh air, crystal sea and enchanting desert.
