Hurghada

A few years ago was a simple fishing village, just visited to all outsiders. Hurghada is now one of the main holiday resorts in Egypt, attracting a large number of visitors each year to their hotels pending and great beaches.

Off the coast, a treasure of great dive sites are waiting to be found beneath the waves. The Careless Reef is just one of the sites most popular dive in Hurghada, with its many coral forests and a dense population of fish (including the hammerhead shark from time to time.)

One of the best Abu Rimat sites is nicknamed 'The Aquarium', which is famous for schools filled with tropical fish that live there. Another must see is that Shaab Abu Nahas. The weather conditions need to be good to visit this site to air, but the five wrecks that are here are well worth the wait. If you like wrecks, Remnants of the El Minya is also worth visiting.

Unlike Hurghada, Sharm el Sheikh has been a major city in Egypt and the port at sea for many years and is one of the most popular places to go on holiday to Egypt. The city itself remains a major attraction in the area, but most visitors staying in one of the coastal nearby hotels to take advantage of outstanding beaches and great diving opportunities found along the coast.

It is difficult to choose among the many excellent dive sites around Sharm el Sheikh, but one of the best runners have to be Ras Ghazlani. Its stunning coral reefs (closed to divers for many years) and a high number of fish and stingrays make it an essential place to visit. Ras Mohammed is another local relief, considered as one of the best diving sites in the world and home to a unique and diverse ecosystem.
