Red Sea Coast

Reef & Desert

5-7 nights recommendedYear-round (water 22-28°C); best diving September to NovemberPlan this chapter →

The Egyptian Red Sea coast offers some of the world's finest reef diving and snorkeling, with visibility reaching 40 meters and coral gardens teeming with life. El Gouna, the planned resort town north of Hurghada, provides a more refined base than the mass-tourism strip, while Marsa Alam to the south offers encounters with dugongs, spinner dolphins, and hammerhead sharks.

We also arrange Kempinski Soma Bay and diving at Elphinstone, Abu Dabbab, and the Sataya dolphin reef off the Giftun islands.
