Paradise Above and Below Water
The Red Sea Coast runs from the Gulf of Suez all the way to the Sudanese border. It was originally named by ancient mariners who identified the coast by its rich crimson mountain ranges. The Red Sea Coast offers true perfection, stimulating and relaxing the senses with diverse landscapes, azure waters, soft velvety beaches, romantic deserts and breathtaking mountains.
The seascapes of this stunning Riviera are unsurpassed and sit hidden beneath the water waiting to be explored. The crystal clear waters of the Red Sea are a must-see for any diving or snorkelling aficionado and are sprinkled with vibrant coral reefs, over 800 species of fish and intriguing shipwrecks. Water sports are a favourite pursuit of tourists and locals alike. Swimming, windsurfing, sailing and fishing are just some of the water based activities you can undertake along the coastline. With the cloudless blue skies, sun-seekers feel at home here. Hurghada, the capital and most well known tourist town on the Red Sea is Egypt's 24-hour resort, quite amazing when you consider that just a few years ago it remained a small fishing village. Hurghada is a truly traditional Egyptian coastal town offering mosques and bazaars, stunning beaches and incredible dive sites. Famed for its energetic nightlife, Hurghada has a range of bars and clubs to tempt any party lover. If you are looking for more cultural activities, the Red Sea Coast is an ideal base camp to allow you to explore the whole of Egypt. Locally you can visit the incredible frescos at the oldest Monasteries in Egypt, St Anthony's Monastery and St Paul's Monastery, hidden in the Red Sea Mountains. Why not discover the mines originally worked by the Romans or visit one of the coastal towns steeped in maritime history.
