From all-inclusive resorts in Sharm El Sheikh to cultural tours exploring Egypt’s ancient wonders, Longwood Holidays delivered experiences that blended relaxation with discovery.
Established in the 1980s, Longwood Holidays began as a small operator with a specialisation in Egypt, capitalising on the growing appeal of the Red Sea as a premier holiday destination. Over time, the company expanded its portfolio to include other Middle Eastern and North African destinations, while maintaining its stronghold in Egypt.
