The Resorts of the Red Sea Riviera in Egypt (featured on the website)

Egypt boasts some of the finest diving and snorkelling in the entire Red Sea Riviera, from the coral playgrounds of southern Sinai to the offshore splendour of the deep south. Holidays in the Red Sea can be a great combination of relaxing on beaches, basking in the warm and sunny climate, enjoying a host of water sports and visiting some of the cultural and historical sites of the region.

With dramatic contrasts between jagged mountains, barren desert and its turquoise waters, the Red Sea Riviera offers year-round sunshine & excellent value for money - 5 hours away from the UK.
Taba gives its name to the stretch of coastline from the Israeli border southwards, and is one of the most picturesque on the Red Sea Riviera. The town of Taba has a few facilities, while it makes a great base for exploring the region, as many sights are easy to reach from here.

Nuweiba, about an hour south of Taba, is a small, peaceful resort and port, nestling on the shores of the Red Sea, giving easy access to the whole lenght of the Sinai coastline. With a laid back atmosphere, white sandy beaches, striking views of the mountains and the Sinai desert beyond, Nuweiba is the ideal destination for the getaway holidaymaker. The shallow reefs around Nuweiba are ideal for snorkelling, while dive enthusiasts head for sites to the north or south of the resort.

Dahab means gold in Arabic, named by the local Bedouin tribes due to its glimmering golden beaches. Having established itself as a hippy village in the 70's, Dahab has grown from a bustling village to an ideal haven for divers and holidaymakers wanting to escape from the crowds. Dahab is an ideal resort for windsurfing holidays, beginners and advanced divers, with shores and boat diving. Dive sites combine coral gardens, arches, canyons and caves with a huge diversity of life. Diving is predominantly shore based, accessible by 4-wheel drive vehicle.

El Quseir, Soma Bay and Abu Soma are small holiday resorts, ideal for a relaxing break. El Quseir, about 2 hours south of Hurghada, is a quiet, un-commercialised resort with a laid back atmosphere and a charm all of its own.
Soma Bay and Abu Soma, 45 mns south of Hurghada, are situated on a peninsula surrounded by sparkling turquoise waters and soft sandy beaches and offer pristine dive sites with untouched hard and soft corals and a wide variety of marine life suitable for every level of diver.
A visit to Soma Bay offers much more than a single hotel experience - it is a complete holiday resort that encompasses the Peninsula's bays, sandy beaches, its magnificent coral reefs, the Marina and shopping centre, its 18-hole PGA golf course all of which are linked by landscaped ring roads and promenades.
El Gouna is a purpose built resort set on small islands, surrounded by lagoons and the Red Sea, about 15 miles north of Hurghada. In El Gouna you can take advantage of an unparalleled underwater paradise, travel through the desert, or take a hot-air balloon to experience some of the most beautiful scenery.

El Gouna has similar diving to Hurghada, with beautiful reefs, about an hour from the resort, with a good combination of hard and soft corals. Ideally positioned to dive some of the finest wrecks in the Red Sea. Sites range from shallow coral gardens to dramatic walls and historic shipwrecks.

El Gouna features numerous hotels, an 18 hole golf course, a casino, two shopping centres, a brewery and winery, an open-air cinema, a museum, an aquarium and loads more leisure facilities, all linked by bridges. El Gouna blends perfectly with its environment, having been built in a traditional style.		 Hurghada has become one of the foremost resorts on the Red Sea Riviera, with some of the finest underwater corals in the world surrounding the shoreline, making the area a haven for divers and holidaymakers alike.

The resort's great mix of hotels, shops, restaurants plus some fine diving sites and access to the rest of the southern coast, makes this a great base. Hurghada has no real centre, with the harbour area of Sigala offering a good range of facilities while other locations are ideal for peace and relaxation.

The region offers a multitude of reefs, walls, wrecks and abundant marine life, with those further off-shore offering challenges for the most experienced divers.

There are about 10 islands which can be visited on day trips from Hurghada, where sharks, giant eels and manta rays can be found in deeper waters.
