Discover the most beautiful destinations in Africa!
Hurghada
Hurghada, with its idyllic Red Sea beaches, is one of Africa's most popular seaside destinations. Transformed from an ordinary fishing village after the discovery of oil deposits in 1913, Hurghada is a terrific location for exploring the Sahara Desert and seeing how Bedouins live, as well as diving and snorkeling. Sahl Hasheesh, with hotels and modern shopping malls, the old town of El Dahar, and Saqqala, the heart of tourism, all promise a rich variety of experiences.
Mauritius
Located off the coast of the Indian Ocean, Mauritius is as beautiful as an earthly paradise. The country gained independence in 1968 and draws attention for its ethnic and cultural diversity, as well as its colorful festivals, white sandy beaches, turquoise waters and tropical nature. In addition to luxury resorts, golf courses and water sports, the island is well-known for its coral reefs and is an excellent snorkeling destination.
Zanzibar
Zanzibar, located off the coast of Tanzania, sits at the crossroads of the old trade routes. The island’s storied history includes Arab, Portuguese, Omani and British settlers over time, who also contributed to its various cultural and architectural features. Zanzibar's white sandy beaches, coral reefs and colorful marine life set it apart, as does its spice gardens and the historic Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Sharm El Sheikh
Once a notable port city, Sharm El-Sheikh translates to "Sheikh's bay" in Arabic. This well-known holiday resort, located on the Sinai Peninsula’s Red Sea coast, captivates visitors with its clear waters, white sandy beaches, and some of the world's best preserved coral reefs. The resort's nightlife is as vibrant as its natural surroundings. The turquoise waters of the Red Sea and the desert landscapes of Sharm El Sheikh provide stark contrasts, making it an unforgettable experience.
Marrakech
Historic Marrakech in southern Morocco carries a rich cultural heritage into the present day. The city served as the capital of the Moroccan Empire during the Middle Ages and is on the UNESCO World Heritage List due to its historical and cultural significance. The Medina is Marrakech’s old city, with narrow streets, traditional houses, bazaars, and the lively main square Jemaa el-Fnaa, while the modern face of Marrakech offers luxury hotels, fine restaurants, golf courses and other tourist attractions.
