Ancient civilisations might be long gone, but many of their greatest constructions still survive, drawing in thousands of visitors to see these sights in places like Greece and Egypt. It is worth taking a trip to see these ruins.

The popularity of such places means you can easily find great deals on all inclusive holidays in Greece or Egypt, but you might also like to step back from the hustle and bustle and see the sights from a more laidback viewpoint. Hotels in both Egypt and Greece offer some truly amazing views.

For a great perspective of ancient Greece, head to Athens and see the amazing temple ruins of the Acropolis, which stands above the city. It’s a breathtaking sight to behold, even more so when seen from the Athens Gate hotel, near Plaka (the old town). Forget struggling to climb to the top of the hill to see the Acropolis up close – it is best seen from a distance.

Guest of this hotel have the best views of the Acropolis and surrounding ruins, such as the Temple of Olympian Zeus. The hotel also has elegant room, some with their own hot tub, and a stylish cocktail bar. Yet nothing can beat the amazing views here, which are surely the most beautiful feature of all.

For a glimpse into the lives of the ancient Pharoahs, look for Egypt holidays in Cairo, and book the Le Meridien Pyramids hotel. This hotel complex is like an oasis of tropical gardens, international restaurants, and swimming pools, as well as shops, live shows, and games to be enjoyed.

Its the mesmerising view of the Great Pyramids which really makes this hotel stand out, however. The tips of the pyramids are clearly seen in most parts of the hotel complex, so you will be sure not to miss them if you’re staying there. With so many great facilities, AND with the ability to do sightseeing from the hotel, you may never leave the complex!
