It all depends on what travellers want from their Red Sea holiday. Most people come to scuba dive and to snorkel; others just relax on the golden beaches and soak up the sun others enjoy the beach culture at the Red Sea resorts. But in the end, learning to dive in Egypt is what it is all about.

Camel Safaris in the Sahara Desert

As you’re on the edge of the desert, there is plenty of rather exotic exploring to do when you are not learning to dive. Camel safaris, day trips to antiquity sights, shopping in markets or paying a visit the traditional cafes, you can try smoking a mixture of tobacco, apple and honey through a shisha pipe.

But, if you want to learn to scuba dive, make sure the place you have selected is PADI accredited. Shop around and find a resort and dive school that suits you. If you don’t like crowds, stay away from Sharm and Hurghada – go to one of the smaller resorts.

Traditional Belly Dancing

For travelers who enjoy a bit of nightlife action, let your hair down in Hurghada and even enjoy some traditional belly dancing. Sharm el Sheikh is a well-developed Red Sea vacation resort with luxurious accommodation, plenty of restaurants and great shopping. This means there is also a good selection of bars, nightclubs and casinos to ensure your Red Sea holiday nights are as bright as the sun at noon.
