Is the Red Sea fun?

The Red Sea is a sea area between the African continent and the Arabian Peninsula and enjoys a high reputation. It is really strange to most people in China, but the scenery is really super beautiful and very suitable for diving. Here, I will share with you a detailed travel guide.

As one of the three largest diving resorts in the world, the sea water is clear and blue, and the annual visibility is about 50 meters. The underwater environment has been well protected. Below the sea level is a wonderful world composed of coral jungles and shallow reefs, where colorful fish swim around. When you come to this kaleidoscope paradise, you will understand why divers regard the Red Sea as a legendary place!

What can I see when diving in the Red Sea?

Little dolphins swim with humans.

There is a hammerhead shark near you in the dark blue.

Super dreamy pink jellyfish

And all kinds of fish storms.

Of course, there are many sunken ships, all kinds of soft and hard corals, turtles and so on. MOLA (Mola) will also appear when it is lucky.

Where to dive in the Red Sea?

The cheapest diving place-Dahab.

Zaihaib is a holiday town in the Red Sea, surrounded by excellent diving spots. Although there is no soft beach, you can see a coral wall not far from the shore for snorkeling, which attracts the world's top diving and free diving experts.

The consumption here is also very low, and it is a gathering place for backpackers. There are many cheap inns in the village, and there are rows of restaurants by the sea. You can have a seafood dinner for $6, get a diving permit for $200, and rent goggles and frog shoes for only four or five yuan, usually only 100 yuan/day.

If you are tired of diving, you might as well stay in a small town and relax. There are no modern high-rise buildings, no bustling commercial streets, and no sightseeing spots for you to punch in. In Dahab, you just need to slow down your life, hide in cafes in the afternoon and enjoy the cool at the seaside at night. This is the best way to spend a holiday.

Dahab is especially suitable for people who dive for the first time, because some very good diving places are close to the shore, so it is good to go out.

The most exciting diving place-Blue Cave

There is a natural sinkhole on a nearshore reef 8 kilometers north of Zaihaib, which is the famous blue hole in Egypt.

Blue hole is a mysterious legend all over the world. This blue hole is the second deepest ocean blue hole in the world, with a depth of 130m, which is wide and deep, thus attracting many divers. Diving into it will be as thrilling as parachuting.

Although exciting, it is very risky. Many divers once ventured beyond the amateur limit regardless of the consequences, thus losing their lives. There are still several tombstones hanging on the wall next to the water entry point, always on alert for divers who come here to explore. So, novices don't try ~

The most luxurious diving place-Sharm el-Sheikh

At the southern tip of Sinai Peninsula, there is a desert city called Sharm el-Sheikh, but at the same time, there are many small islands and reefs in the waters near it. This strange landscape of half sea and half desert attracts a large number of European and Israeli tourists every year.

There are more than 200 kinds of coral reefs and living corals here, and a variety of marine animals and plants inhabit coral reefs, and the wonders of the sea floor are bizarre.

There are also diving exploration, windsurfing, beach cross-country and other tourism projects.

Unlike Dahab, this place is more suitable for wealthy travelers. Sharm el-Sheikh mainly receives European tour groups, so the standard of supporting tourist facilities is also very high. Resort hotels are mainly western-style resorts, and the minimum facilities must meet the four-star standard, so the price is not low.

The most lively diving place-Hrga Da.

Helga is known as the "Red Sea Capital" by the world, because it has brilliant sunshine, soft beaches, blue sea water and green date palms, which makes it a unique tourism resource.

Besides water activities, the most attractive thing here is the activities in the desert. Here, you can visit the indigenous Bedouin tribes in the desert by camel and experience the life of the local people; You can also drive a four-wheeled motorcycle and have a thrilling trip in the desert.

The quietest dive sites-Taba and Nuweiba

Compared with the diving sites in Sinai, there are far fewer divers in Taba and Nuweiba. But there are also more than a dozen first-class diving spots here, which are suitable for independent divers who like low-key and quiet. If you want to be more leisurely, some divers also live in beach campsites along the Nouaba-Taba coastal highway.

People who don't want to be surrounded by diving storms can go here.

When are you going?

You can travel at any time of the year, and the summer from July to September is the best time to dive in the Red Sea. At this time, the sea surface is calm, the average temperature of seawater is 26℃, the visibility is high, and all aspects of diving conditions are good.

In addition to diving, Egypt is rich in land tourism resources. The world-famous pyramids, Egyptian museums with extremely rich collections, ancient and mysterious Egyptian temples, and the majestic Nile River not only let you experience half of Egypt's seawater and half of its flames, but also feel the mysterious charm of ancient civilization.
