Egypt has consistently been a favorite among sun-seekers, offering winter temperatures averaging between 24-27C. Visitors can bask in the warmth on the country’s beautiful sandy beaches or unwind at one of the many all-inclusive resorts.

Sharm-El-Sheikh, known for its pristine beaches and clear waters, is a paradise for beach enthusiasts. The region boasts a range of accommodation options to suit different budgets, making it an ideal destination for sun, sea, and sand lovers.
Meanwhile, Hurghada is perfect for travelers seeking a mix of relaxation and adventure. Besides its inviting beaches and turquoise waters, visitors can explore attractions like the Makadi Water World water park and take day trips to Luxor for a glimpse into Ancient Egypt’s fascinating history.
For those seeking alternative winter sun destinations, Cape Verde offers stunning beaches and a pleasant climate, while Sri Lanka beckons with its golden shores and diverse wildlife. Recent data suggests a growing interest in Sri Lanka, making it a rising star among holidaymakers.
