INTRODUCTION TO RED SEA
Sun, fun and exceptional watersports is the theme for Egypt's Red Sea area. Leaving the history inland, it offers modern, well planned resorts with a riviera feel. With desert backdrops and golden sands lapped by warm waters, this area of Egypt offers a different perspective from the bustle of the Nile-side towns. The crystal clear waters hide a magical underwater world of vibrant colours, tropical marine life and spectacular corals.
