Having a vacation and playing golf. Anyone acquainted with both can tell you they are both very effective ways of relieving stress and, for a limited time, forgetting your worries. Mix into that the beautiful, picturesque sights and scorching sunshine of northern Africa and you are left with one dream-like destination to get away from everyday life by enjoying a holiday on one of Egypt's many golfing resorts.
Cairo
Situated in Cairo, the country's capital, is the The Katameya Heights Golf and Tennis Resort which sits a short 20-minute drive from the city's International Airport. Included in this five-star resort are 280 villas for accommodation and an 18-hole, championship golf course complete with practice facilities and a driving range. The clubhouse also has an impressive assortment of services, from bars and restaurants to a swimming pool and spa.
Just on the outskirts of the city lies the very impressive Dreamland Golf and Tennis Resort which boasts 36 challenging holes in total. That includes a 18-hole championship course, a 9-hole course with a view of the nearby great pyramids of Giza and a 9-hole academy course for beginners. On site are three major hotels--a Hilton, Sheraton and Swiss Inn--along with a fun park, cinema, international school and shopping centre.
One resort that resides outside the hustle and bustle of Cairo but which still stays close to the area is the 13 million square-meter large stretch of land also known as Solaimaneyah City. This was built by Eygptian entrepreneur Soliman Amer 16 years ago with the intent of having golf resort away from the noise and pollution of Cairo. It is located 35 km from the city.
Hurghada
Hurghada is a city located on the coast of the Red Sea in eastern Egypt. The Madinat Makadi resort is just 30km away from the Hurghada international airport and covers two and a half million square-metes in size. The resort has 10 hotels, 8 of which are of 4 or 5 star quality, and an 18-hole, par 72 championship golf course. Along with the golf course there are practice holes, a driving range and a clubhouse complete with bars and restaurants.
Twenty-two kilometers north of the Hurghada airport is the tourist resort of El Gouna and the Steigenberger Golf resort. The 18-hole golf course was designed by former Masters winner Fred Couples and his associate Gene Bates. Within the course sits the resort's hotel and clubhouse while the grounds are surrounded by a lagoon with a private beach.
Sinai Peninsula
Taba Heights golf resort is located on the east coast of the Sinai Peninsula and boasts impressive surroundings. Desert mountains cast shadows over the 7100-yard course which, in turn, overlooks the blue waters of the Red Sea. If that were not impressive enough, situated on the other side of the sea are the coastlines of Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Israel, all of which are visible from the course. Golf carts are mandatory and complimentary.
