DIVE THE RED SEA
The Red Sea is one of the most spectacular
dive locations in the world and its west coast resorts offer a huge choice of
sites and experiences. El Gouna alone has well over 30 diving sites including
wrecks and coral reef. It is the closet resort to the celebrated Thitlegorm
wreck. Around Hurghada you can find underwater coral gardens and giant
gorgonians as well as coral reef islands offshore. Marine life you may
encounter on a dive could include huge Napoleon fish, turtles, moray eels, reef
sharks, groupers, rainbow wrasse and butterfly fish.
DESERT ACTIVITIES
The vast expanses of desert behind the Red
Sea are an action packed adventure zone just waiting to be explored. From
Hurghada, Makadi Bay, Soma Bay, El Gouna and other resorts you can take half
day or day trip excursions into the desert to try camel or horse riding, quad
biking, sand sailing, take a 4x4 desert safari, visit a Bedouin village, smoke
a traditional hookah water pipe and have a barbeque dinner under the stars
after watching the sun go down. It is also possible to cross the desert to
visit Luxor inn one day.
ISLAND HOPING
Take a cruise to one of the Red Sea’s many
offshore islands on a day trip or evening sunset and barbecue cruise. Watch out
for dolphins on the way. From Hurghada, boat trips go to islands including
Giftun, a beautiful national park island group and set passengers down on a
secluded, sandy beach to spend the day lazing, swimming and snorkeling. For a
more romantic touch, you can board a sailing boat in El Gouna and search out
coves and unspoilt islands. From Soma Bay, Tobia Island is a small, sandy
island which is popular for tourist boat trips.
