Accommodation

If you plan on staying in a hotel but would still like to organize a few days diving, then your options are endless. A considerable range of Dive Centers offer daily diving. The Red Sea boasts some of the best local diving in the world with most sites accessible within an hour boat rides from established diving centers.

Divers and backpackers have long enjoyed the spectacular blue-green waters, coral reefs, golden sand beaches and magnificent mountain views of the northeast Sinai peninsula. But now many of the top international names in luxury hotels are developing Red Sea resorts in this area, perfect for all holiday makers seeking sunshine and relaxation.

Transportation: Access is fast, thanks to the International Road that runs north from Sharm El Sheikh, and the area’s most famed sites Including St Catherine’s Monastery, the Colored Canyon, the picturesque castle of Salah El Din on Pharaoh’s Island and dozens of fine diving sites are easily reached from Taba, Nuweiba and Dahab, and are less busy than those around popular Sharm El Sheikh.
