Red Sea
Among the best diving and snorkelling spots in the world.
BEST TIME TO VISIT
MAY - OKTOBER
A Yacht Holiday

For divers, this is a paradise: you benefit from a clear view of the fascinating underwater world, which welcomes you with its rich variety of fish, numerous coral reefs and mystical wrecks. Among the best diving and snorkelling spots in the world are the areas of the popular resorts of Sharm El-Sheikh, Marsa Alam and Hurghada.
