Diving or Snorkeling the Red Sea's Famed Sites
The most popular activities in the Red Sea region are diving and snorkeling. The greatest diving spots for experienced divers may be found off the southern coast, with the easiest access from Marsa Alam. These "deep south" locations are known for their sea life and are your great option for seeing a dugong in the Red Sea.
The dive sites off the coast of Hurghada are among Egypt's most popular, but in addition to being overcrowded, its coral reefs have been devastated by both divers and shady diving companies. If you're diving from Hurghada, skip those locations and travel north to the Straits of Gubal, where you'll discover the wreck of the Thistlegorm, one of the best wreck dives in the world. Or head south to the diving locations off the coast of Safaga, Al-Quseir, and Marsa Alam. Divers aren't the only ones who can enjoy the Red Sea's coral and fish life. Snorkeling is also a great way to view a lot of things. This full-day Red Sea snorkeling excursion includes lunch on board and transport by boat to three outstanding snorkeling locations off the shore.
