Why Everyone Loves Red Sea Tours

Red Sea tours combine natural and human history into one fascinating package. Of course, the warm waters and beautiful beaches also encourage relaxation!

The Wonderful Red Sea

The Red Sea is one of the most captivating vacation areas in the entire country. Not only do tourists fall in love with the landscapes, but they also fall for the rich waters by beaches and port towns.

In the late 1980s many international scientists actually chose the Red Sea as one of the Seven Wonders of the Underwater World. The Red Sea touches several countries altogether including Egypt, Israel, Jordan and more.

Popular Resort Areas

The best tours for the Red Sea experience are with Egypt, and some of the most popular resort areas on the western shore are El Gouna, Hurghada, Safaga, Marsa Alam; while Sharm-El-Sheikh, Dahab, and Taba are on the Egyptian side of Sinai.

Diving in the Red Sea

Some of the best diving sites are located in Egypt, like the Ras Mohammed, SS Thistlegorm, Elphinstone, Dolphin Reef and Rocky Island. Egypt is the best location to go diving in the Red Sea, because some other areas down south of sea are at risk of pirate-attacks. Trouble spots include Somalia and the Gulf of Aden.

Whenever you see day tours advertising a relaxing stay at a Red Sea Egyptian resort, then take your company up on that offer. The truth is, there is something very magical about the Red Sea. The water is world-renowned for its clear blue water, its shiny beaches and its very exotic marine life. In fact, researchers claim that there are over 1,000 invertebrate species and 200 corals that populate the Red Sea, not to mention over 300 types of sharks.

Speaking of marine life, you should be aware that all underwater creatures (and desert life on land tours for that matter) are protected by law, since some of these creatures are endangered species. Hence, breaking these regulations could result in massive international fines. The Red Sea is known as one of the two saltiest bodies of water anywhere in the world, second only to the Dead Sea, which is a short distance away between Israel and Jordan.

Duration of the Tours

As you look through various luxury tours in and around the Red Sea Riviera you will notice that they may vary in the total number of days.

For instance, some cruises of Red Sea tours last as long as 10 days, allow tourists to live aboard the cruise ship and go diving at any time. Trips like these may begin in a popular city such as Cairo and travel all the way to a resort destination such as Sharm El-Sheikh or Hurghada.
