So, whether you’re a non-Egyptian who isn’t quite ready to say goodbye to summer yet, or a local who wants to make the most of the best weather of the year, these destinations in Egypt have something for everyone.

Siwa Oasis

Siwa, is Egypt's most famous yet most remote oasis, it is located in the Western Desert, but much closer to the Libyan border. Every year, thousands of Egyptians and foreigners alike visit Siwa to learn about its unique history, heritage, and culture (they even have their language which is closer to Berber than Arabic).

Siwa's natural charms, from the vibrant greenery at the edge of the Great Sand Sea to their crystal-clear salt lakes and vast expanses of olive and palm trees, are worth visiting on their own.

Siwa is largely untouched by modernity and its technological trappings (Siwa was isolated from the rest of Egypt until the 1980s, when a road connecting it to Marsa Matrouh was built), making it an ideal place to camp and get away from it all.

Camping under the Milky Way in the Great Sand Sea is an experience you will never forget!

Ras Shetan/Nuweiba

Ras Shetan, a stretch of coastline on the Sinai Peninsula between the towns of Nuweiba and Taba, is nestled between mountains and the Red Sea's Gulf of Aqaba.

Sahl hasheesh

Most online booking sites classify Sahl Hasheesh and Makadi Bay as “Hurghada”.

While they are considered part of the Hurghada 'area,' they are distinct towns from Hurghada itself. Sahl Hasheesh is a resort town built on a bay in the Red Sea south of Hurghada back in the 1990s and is known for its beautiful stretch of coastline and a long boardwalk. It is home to some of the country's most highly ranked beach resorts.

Sahl Hasheesh doesn’t offer much in terms of restaurants or nightlife outside of the resorts.

Another claim to fame that Sahl Hasheesh has been its man-made sunken city, a partially submerged city that acts like a reef and attracts both marine life and snorkelers galore.
