Egypt Red Sea
The resorts of the Red Sea provide the perfect blend of ingredients for a beach holiday and are a must for diving and snorkelling enthusiasts. Although each area has its own unique character, every one offers crystal clear waters, spectacular coral reefs teeming with marine life and a fantastic climate. Sharm el Sheikh invites you to find a special souvenir at the bazaar or relax in a friendly bar before you set off on a desert adventure, whilst the western coastline at Hurghada, Makadi Bay and El Gouna boasts some of the best dive sites in the world. Add to this the emerging area of Marsa Alam in the south with its peaceful, picturesque setting and you have everything under the sun.
El Gouna
Set at the edge of a red sand desert, El Gouna is built on islands surrounded by turquoise lagoons. The ultra-modern Abu Tig Marina is contemporary in design with a selection of attractive amenities whilst the town centre, Kafr El Gouna is more traditional with vibrant bars, restaurants, shops and discos. The man-made beaches, some accessed by boat, are ideal for relaxation and there are numerous dive sites where you can see the splendour of the coral reefs. Transfer from Hurghada airport: approx 45mins.
Marsa Alam
Still in the early stages of development, days in this beautiful area are generally spent exploring the coral reefs, abundant with stunning marine life, or just relaxing in this peaceful, tranquil and remote environment. Further up the coast, the town of El Quseir offers a selection of shops, a bustling port and an old fort to be explored. Transfer from Marsa Alam airport: approx 1 hour
Hurghada
The town itself bursts with local colour and activity. A morning or two spent shopping will provide an interesting break from the beaches or the modern facilities of your hotel. Transfer from Hurghada airport: approx 20 mins.
Makadi Bay
On a wide sandy bay, this small beach resort has a quiet desert setting, perfect for those seeking a relaxing holiday. All the facilities in Makadi Bay are hotel-based, but for those who wish to venture further afield, Hurghada is just 33km away. Transfer from Hurghada airport: approx 50 mins
