Travel
I am an avid fan of travel and will most certainly want to indulge in travel, food and diversity in culture as a joint activity with my future spouse and family. While I may not yet be married, I did start plans on the places to visit when the time comes. I decided to start my process in the very continent I call home instead of somewhere far off or simply too common. Due to the lack of global media coverage in Africa, the world believes that the best cities for your honeymoon are in Europe and we Africans tend to acknowledge this belief. As such, thousands of couples each year travel to the common cities forgetting that there are places in Africa that can stand toe to toe with the best resorts all over.
Here is my list of the top 5 luxurious resorts here in Africa:
1) Maritim Jolie Ville (Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt)
This resort is located on the private Kings Island of Luxor by the Nile in Egypt, and it covers 660,00sqm. The resort is really a beauty to behold; the Hotel landscape is very beautiful, with two main buildings, ten elegant bungalows, spa with a fitness center, and three swimming pools with the biggest being about 2,800sqm. The Historic sights of Luxor can easily be reached by complimentary shuttle buses at the Hotel.
