The Red Sea Coast

Egypt's most sophisticated resort town, a labyrinth of lagoons, private islands and whitewashed architecture.

A private peninsula of powdery white sand and turquoise lagoons. Egypt's most complete resort destination.

The definitive Sharm address: a sweeping private beach, clear water over pristine reef and the Sinai mountains at every turn.

Bohemian, beloved and impossible to leave. The Red Sea's most authentic escape.

Quiet, authentic and unhurried. The Sinai beach that time forgot, with Bedouin camps and extraordinary stargazing.

Egypt's first marine national park. An 800-metre reef wall, the world's most famous toilet wreck and an anemone aggregation science cannot explain.

Where the Red Sea resort industry began. Egypt's largest diving hub, with more boats in the water than any other port on the coast.

A working port town that became one of the Middle East's finest windsurf destinations. Less famous than its neighbours, and better for it.

One of the oldest ports on the African coast. Romans, Ottomans and coffee merchants all passed through. Today it is quiet, well-preserved and largely left alone.

The gateway to Egypt's deep south. Dugongs at Abu Dabbab, spinner dolphins at Sataya, Elphinstone on a day trip.

One of the most untouched beaches on the African continent, accessible only by boat.
