Why do we consider travel a basic desire nowadays? In 2008, only 30 percent of trips over 50 miles were done for business – the rest- for pure pleasure. Work is nerve-racking, the family needs to be fed and money is and will always be a problem. Meanwhile, there are hot deals on flights, romance is in the air in Paris no matter the season and life is still waiting for you at the corner
Cheap Egypt holidays certainly do not mean that you have to sit in a bleak hotel doing nothing for days on end ‘ the country is packed with good affordable accommodation and there are lots to see and to do.
