What to do and see in Red Sea and Sinai, Egypt: The Best Free Things to do

August 18, 2021 Alida England

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.

Reviewed By Stevelino - Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Gives wonderful insight into the monasteries and their importance and heritage, cannot get more Authentic, worth the hike up to the cave around which everything is built. Wonderful history, welcoming monks, excellent for religious items. Go the extra hog, visit, you will have a new perspective on the country open before your eyes.

You can book half day and full day trips with a boat and tours starting at the hotel or you can dive right from our beautiful beach, no need to carry your equpiment too far. There are always reef sharks, turtles, and dolphins around. Divers who want to shoot pictures under water will always have a sensational view. We have something for everyone, from the professional diver to the first time diver. We can offer you an inexpensive and comfortable vacation (with us there is no mass diving, but is individual). At night you can join us in the Beach Bar for BBQ or go out for a drink to the "Diverhouse" close to the "Toubia hotel".
