Things to do in Red Sea and Sinai, Egypt: The Best Beaches

July 10, 2021 Giuseppe Pratt

Traditional attitudes prevail in the historic Sinai region on Egypt's border with Israel. The triangular peninsula is divided from the rest of Egypt by the Suez Canal and the Red Sea. Craggy mountains, including 7500-foot Mount Sinai, plunge down to the waters of the Red Sea. Spectacular snorkeling and diving sites beckon from the Gulf of Aqaba to the east of the peninsula, particularly along the dramatic coastline of Na'ama Bay in Sharm el Sheikh. Camelback safaris offer distinctive desert excursions.

Amazing to snorkel. I stayed at faraana reef hotel in january and am booked to stay at reef oasis hotel next year booked these places specifically as I'd read it was good for snorkelling and it was. The second u put your feet in the water there are tons of coloured fish everywhere amazing the reef comes at you quick at the sides then drops over there are llatoons that you can walk out over there reff though the water underneath is so clear. There are fossils all in the sand cant wait to go back

Wonderful bay with a large seagrass area, where you can find giant sea turtles and a dugong (sea cow)! There's also beautiful coral reefs. It's just 1 km away from the 3 corners Fayrouz Plaza and totally worth visiting! We were luckiest when we went there shortly after sunrise.

El Qulan Mangrove Forest

Reviewed By AMohsen - Port Said, Egypt

It is another hidden gem. This spot is so picturesque where there is Mangrove forest along the shoreline, in the sea, and a big one is like an island in the middle of the sea that allows pretty pictures. There is only one problem with the long queues for shower rooms and toilets.
