SOMA BAY IS THE YOUNGEST RESORT IN EGYPT
Most modern resorts are supposedly specially created for extroverts - people who love entertainment and round-the-clock fun, and also want to "see people and show themselves." But what should introverts do who dream of a quiet, peaceful town where they could hide from the noise and be alone with themselves? There is a way out! Order a tour to a resort located in a beautiful natural location.
Soma Bay is a young Egyptian resort located on the shores of a quiet bay 47 kilometers from Hurghada. This place is like a fairy-tale oriental palace: on the shore of a deserted secluded bay, hotels stand with walls the color of sun-burnt rocks, and the aquamarine sea rustles nearby. During the day, local residents swim in crystal salt water, look at beautiful corals and walk on clean sandy beaches, and in the evening - admire the incredible bottomless sky, strewn with huge southern stars ...
BEACHES
Soma Bay is located on the west coast of the Red Sea, so it has an excellent mild climate. The season lasts all year round: the temperature does not drop below +30 degrees in summer, and +20 degrees in winter. By the way, you can buy hot tickets to Soma Bay at an affordable price all year round! Local beaches are considered the best on the Red Sea, because fine white sand and a gentle shore are the best that a person who dreams of a good beach vacation can wish for. The area for swimming and windsurfing is guarded.
HOTELS
Most of the hotels are 4 * and 5 *, and some of them belong to very well-known chains: Sheraton, Le Meridien, Inter Continental, Iberotel, etc. Soma Bay is a respectable resort, but there are also inexpensive 3* and 2* hotels. In order to have time to book one of the inexpensive rooms, it is worth ordering tickets to Soma Bay in advance (departure - from Kyiv). By the way, although compared to Sharm el-Sheikh and Hurghada, it is quiet and peaceful here, the hotels have everything that even the most experienced tourist could wish for: restaurants, night clubs, bars and shops.
INFRASTRUCTURE
In Soma Bay you can have dinner, go surfing or go sailing. And if you get tired of active recreation, come to the local SPA center - the third largest in the region, where you can order a thalassotherapy course. The center practices treatment with salts, mud and algae. If you manage to buy a hot tour at a low price, then you will definitely have money left over for thalassotherapy.
HISTORICAL TOURS IN SOMA BAY: WHAT TO SEE?
From Soma Bay, you can go on an excursion to the Luxor temple complex and the Valley of the Kings.
The Valley of the Kings is a historical region of Egypt where 62 tombs are located. The ancient Egyptians believed that this place would become a real refuge for the dead, and their descendants (and our contemporaries) do everything to make tourists see this for themselves, so do not be afraid if you encounter local "professional ghosts" (remember the monks , who "work" in the dungeons of ancient European castles?).
Luxor is a settlement that is divided into the "City of the Living" and the "City of the Dead". The living live on its left bank. Hotels, markets, shops and residential areas are located here. The right bank belongs to the dead: here are: Luxor Temple, Karnak Temple, Amon-Ra Temple, Theban Necropolis, Valley of the Queens, Theban Necropolis, Ramesseum Temple and Queen Hatshepsut Temple. In Luxor, you can also visit the Museum of Luxor Antiquities.
On the way from Luxor, you should stop by the Colossians of Memnon, which are located right in the middle of the desert.
You can buy a tour at an affordable price in the travel company "Alf" (departure from Kyiv, transfer is organized by the hotel).
