Dive Into Hurghada on a Cruise to the Red Sea

When it comes to exotic cruises, the Red Sea is a popular destination for Britons seeking lots of sun, sea and sand on their onshore excursions. One area that has attracted crowds of people on their cruise holidays in recent times is Hurghada, a resort town in Egypt that was once a small fishing village but has since been redeveloped to become a sprawling tourist complex. However, while Hurghada appears to be packed with hotels and other tourist-focused facilities, the older version of the town can still be seen in the Ed-Dahar quarter with its traditional architecture and souk, or market. For many people who visit the area, though, it's Hurghada's potential for diving that sits high on the list of things that must be done while in the region.

Skiing Safety

Lea Deux Alpes, Chamonix, Whistler .. all popular destinations for avid skiers to head off and test the powders for their holiday. But the reputation of the resorts is just as much down to the chalet activites, and not just the skiing and snowboarding.  Skiiers have been warned that reckless behaviour on the slopes and excess alcohol consumption could result in them being granted less freedom on the slopes, following a series of accidents and deaths in this snow this winter. Ryan Shorthouse, writing for the Daily Mail, said that carefree behaviour and heavy drinking can be a "toxic mix" when combined with skiing. "To defend the freedoms that skiers currently have, skiers are going to have to behave more responsibly," he added. A quarter of holidaymakers admit to drinking four units directly before skiing, he noted, and the trend for necking gluwein (warm wine) at lunch mean many more accidents in ski resorts occur in the afternoon. However, skiers can still put themselves and others at risk if they ...
