The Red Sea and amazing diving opportunities
Among the reasons to visit Egypt, diving is one of them. Diving is at the top of most travelers' lists of things to do on a Red Sea trip, and Egypt is home to the best Red Sea dive sites. The world-renowned underwater tourist attractions of Ras Mohammed National Park and the eerie wreck of the Thistlegorm remain among the best places to visit for keen divers, but there are many more underwater highlights off Egypt's Red Sea coastline. Whether you want to incorporate a day or two of diving into your Egypt sightseeing or are planning a dive-focused vacation.
Some of the best diving spots in Egypt include: The Thistlegorm – for an incredible opportunity to explore the sank British vessel that was attacked during the Second World War. The ship was carrying war supplies, all of which can now be spotted underwater. The Shark and Yolanda Reef – if you’re lucky, you may have a chance of seeing sharks during this underwater adventure! The Elphinstone Reef – is an incredible diving spot with numerous rare marine life species, including the Oceanic Whitetip shark. Moreover, you’ll be able to admire some coral reefs and colorful fish! Other than that, if you’re lucky, you can spot some dolphins and turtles as well. Getting to this diving spot requires taking a boat trip about 12 kilometers from the shore.
