Why Visit the Red Sea?
Extending for over 1,000 miles, The Red Sea is one of the warmest in the world, fringed by beautiful soft sandy beaches. The meeting point for the Gulfs of Suez and Aqaba, the Red Sea is known as one of the seven wonders of the water world thanks to the spectacular diving and snorkelling opportunities.

This narrow stretch of water, which runs through a huge rift valley is the perfect place to relax after discovering Egypt’s ancient treasures. While it is true that much of the coastline has been taken over by large tourist resorts, there are still areas which offer an idyllic and exclusive beach retreat.

If you are still in search of culture and history, sites such as the Monastery of St Anthony in the Red Sea Mountains, which dates back to the 4th century AD, and the Ottoman Fortress are well worth a visit.
  • Snorkel or dive on the coral reef.
  • Learn to windsurf or kitesurf.
  • Explore Hurghada's Souq & Marina.
  • Discover the pristine beaches of Giftun Islands.
  • Mingle with locals at Sharm El Sheikh old town market.
