Red Sea Activities

Red Sea & Sinai Practical Info

Millions of travelers go to Cairo, Luxor, and the Nile Valley every year to view the temples, tombs, and monuments that the ancient Egyptian pharaohs left behind. Additionally, the magnificent architecture and fascinating history of medieval Islamic Cairo and Alexandria's storied Greco-Roman past entice tourists.

Despite all of this history in the Nile Valley, the Sinai Peninsula and the regions to the east along the Red Sea have grown into popular tourist destinations in their own right. Tourists who might otherwise visit the attractions of the Nile Valley now prefer to visit this coastline's tranquil, blue waters of the Red Sea, white-sand beaches, and coral reefs teeming with marine life.

Red Sea

 

Coastal communities like Hurghada, Marsa Alam, and Ain Sukhna have developed into prosperous tourist areas with stunning beaches and mild weather almost all year long. Visitors to the Eastern Desert may now take camping vacations and quad bike tours to appreciate the imposing scenery, while many coral islands off the coast draw scuba divers and snorkelers.

The Red Sea's pristine seas and the interior of the peninsula, which is rich in history, are both accessible from the Sinai Peninsula. Sharm El Sheikh is a growing tourist destination with stunning beaches, energetic nightlife, and neighboring protected natural areas with stunning coral and marine life.

Although the mood is more laid-back farther north in Dahab and Nuweiba, the Red Sea's splendor is still easily accessible. From these locations, it is simple to reach Sinai's interior, where Bedouin tribesmen who have ruled these mountains for millennia show tourists the desert's mysteries and the region's history. 

There is still plenty to see and do in Egypt after seeing the Giza Pyramids, Islamic Cairo, and heading south to see the historic sites in Luxor and along the Nile. While the Bedouin people, who have lived in the Sahara Desert for millennia, provide great hospitality and distinctive culture to visitors in the west, east Egypt's extensive coasts along the Red Sea and the Sinai Peninsula also have a lot to offer visitors.

 

 

Red Sea Diving

Dahab

 

Dahab, a seaside settlement in the center of Sinai's eastern coastline, is currently a thriving diving community. It provides a variety of lodging options, from opulent full-service resorts to affordable hostels. The entire area is waterfront, nestled between the deep purple interior of Sinai's mountains and the glistening seas of the Gulf of Aqaba, with the gloomy mountains of Saudi Arabia visible over the water in the distance.

A well-known stretch of hotels and restaurants in Dahab's center allows visitors to unwind by the ocean while taking advantage of the full restaurant experience. A few kilometers outside of town, in either direction, are resorts, and the atmosphere is more laid-back and less developed farther north. All of these locations arrange excursions to the area's several spectacular diving and snorkeling spots. It is simple to arrange safari or diving expeditions into Sinai's interior through any of the hotels or the myriad tourism businesses. Popular activities include quad bike tours, camel rides, and day trips to Mount Sinai and St. Katherine in the center of the peninsula.

Even more understated is the town of Nuweiba, which is located around 60 kilometers north of Dahab. The majority of the lodging options in this area are basic huts on the beach with a restaurant close by. They offer the best opportunity for unwinding and also make trips into Sinai's interior the most accessible.

Sharm El-Sheikh

 

The best beaches in Egypt may be found in Sharm El Sheikh and Naama Bay, which are both on the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula. Thirty years ago, neither of them existed. Today, both are bustling beachfront hotspots with a thriving nightlife.

These resort communities, which are arranged along a single major road between the lake and the mountains behind them, provide a wide variety of lodging options, cafés, restaurants, and bars.

Additionally, they are close to some amazing dive sites, and each hotel arranges diving and snorkeling excursions. Year-round, European travelers swarm to this region, with the peak seasons being fall, winter, and early spring before the summer heat becomes unbearable. It is within a few kilometers of Ras-Mohammed National Marine Park, a marine nature reserve that is home to some of the most abundant and diverse marine species in the world.

 

 

Activities

Hurghada

 

Hurghada City is 4.5 hours by car from Luxor and 6 hours by car from Cairo. The largest city on the Red Sea is there. There are many ways to get to and from Hurghada from other Egyptian cities, including flights with Egypt Air, ferries that run between Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh, or local transportation firms that offer services to Cairo, Luxor, Marsa Alam, Alexandria, and other cities. Hurghada Airport makes it simple to travel to the city from both abroad and from Egyptian cities. 
Along the route, there are several bazaars, cafés, and discos in addition to the hotels.
