Enjoy Jakarta Golf
Backstory Where Ancient Meets Modern – the Egypt Golf Backstory Play golf in the land of the pharaohs – from historic Cairo to the eternal blue skies of the Red Sea Playing golf in Egypt is like teeing up nowhere else on earth. Its fairways are laced with history, some within sight of one of the Seven Wonders of the World and close to one of the cradles of civilisation, Cairo. Others offer a kaleidoscope of colours, their verdant fairways, tees and greens contrasting with parched desert sands and the azure waters of the Red Sea, sparkling under vivid blue skies 365 days of the year. Egypt’s golf roots date back to the 19th century when the first courses were built by the British. Yet, today, golfers can tee it up on world-class new courses, several created by some of golf’s most famous designers, and with practice and teaching facilities to rival many established golf destinations. Luxury hotels alongside some of them offer sumptuous accommodation, spas, fine dining and leisure and recreation facilities that appeal to non-golfing partners and families as well as to the golfers themselves. Beyond the fairways, exciting adventure options range from deep-sea fishing, windsurfing or scuba diving among coral reefs alive with fish to 4x4 safaris and camel rides through the desert. Explore Old Cairo and marvel at the mighty Pyramids of Giza, try haggling in a souk, seek out excellent restaurants. After dark, pump up the volume with the vibrant nightlife of Egypt’s Red Sea resorts and the versatility of Cairo’s Nightlife, which truly is a city that never sleeps.
