Holidays to the Red Sea are an Arabian adventure combining ancient history, bustling bazaars, pristine white-sand beaches, untouched coral reefs, and world-class scuba diving. Cut off from ocean currents, the Red Sea's warm waters are home to more than 200 types of coral and 1000 species of tropical fish. Visitors can explore the underwater world of scuba diving and come face-to-face with manta rays, turtles, and big-eyed squirrelfish. Holidays to the Red Sea are an increasingly popular choice for winter-sun getaways. Some of Egypt's main resorts are scattered along the Sinai Peninsula. The luxurious resort of Taba Heights is set against a backdrop of untouched desert landscape.

Heading south along the coast, you will discover the stunning beaches of Nuweiba and the spectacular windsurfing in Dahab. Further down the coast is Sharm-el-Sheikh's five-star luxury, beautiful sandy beaches, abundance of water sports, and animated nightlife. Holidays to the Red Sea are often based in Sharm-el-Sheikh - a world-renowned resort for scuba diving. Professional divers flock to these crystal-clear waters to explore the breathtaking coral reefs, rare tropical fish, and spectacular shipwrecks.

Across the water, on the eastern Sahara coast, lies Hurghada - the biggest tourist resort on the Red Sea. Here visitors will find a vibrant town centre with lively bazaars, beautiful beaches and coral reefs to rival that of Sharm-el-Sheikh's. Holidays to the Red Sea also feature adventures on dry land. Tourists can embark on desert safaris, jeep tours, camel treks and explore the archaeological riches of Luxor - just a four-hour drive from Hurghada.
