Places to See and Stay: The Red Sea - Egypt

Add to Travel PlannerDahab, Egypt

The Red Sea offers miles of wonderful coastline, from the developed shores of Sinai around Sharm El Sheikh to exclusive resorts on the western shores near Hurghada. As well as the chance to recuperate on a beach, time can also be spent snorkelling and diving on the legendary coral reefs or exploring nearby sights of interest. Time at the Red Sea is easily incorporated into an Egyptian itinerary, and is a great way to unwind at the end of a trip: from Upper Egypt you can travel overland to Hurghada or catch a flight to Sharm El Shiekh.
