If you think Egypt is only about dry desert sands and ancient stone, you are missing half the country. The Red Sea is globally celebrated as one of the top scuba diving and snorkeling destinations on the planet, boasting crystal-clear visibility, warm water year-round, and breathtaking coral reefs.
Why the Red Sea is Unique
The Red Sea features fringing coral reefs that drop into dramatic abysses, home to over 1,200 species of fish—nearly 20% of which are found nowhere else on earth. Because there are no major rivers flowing into the Red Sea, the water is exceptionally clear, offering visibility up to 40 meters.
