What to Expect on Safaga Tours

Safaga tours present so many options for exploration that you'll find this guide indispensible for choosing from among them. We've listed the best of the best.

Safaga, Egypt

Safaga is a seaport town in Egypt located on the coast of the Red Sea. Like many other Red Sea locations, Safaga is a tourist-friendly destination that owes much of its popularity to beach activities.

However, there’s another feature that’s very unique about Safaga. This is known as one of the best therapeutic destinations to travel anywhere in the world. The seawater of this area of the Red Sea is high in saline and rich in minerals. This is very good for the skin and has actually been used for curative purposes. (Such as for patients who suffer from arthritis or psoriasis) Meanwhile the black sand dune braches are very popular among sunbathers. What is black sand? This is a heavy and glossy mix of fine sands that result in reverse color because of a natural phenomenon known as a placer deposit.

Beach Living and Water Sports

As of late, Safaga has gained a reputation for sports. The town is very popular for kite-surfers and windsurfers. It is a seaport town that is dominated by beach living and water sports. As a matter of fact, there is little nightlife to speak of in the area, except for local beach parties thrown by the locals. There must be a reason why Safaga gathers so much praise for its water-lust.

Some of those reasons have to do with its great diving spots like the chain reefs of Tobia Arbaa and the walls of Panorama and Abu Qifan. There is also plenty of wildlife to see around Safaga, including tuna fish, mantas and sharks.

Golfing

What else can you do in Safaga? Golfing is a popular sport among tourists and residents alike. Recently, the Cascades Golf Resort and Country Club has been open and offers much in the way of scenery and gaming. The course may look like a desert course, though there are a number of lakes and streams to be found that are produced by the Red Sea, which surrounds the club. Golfers can look forward to an 18-hole professional course that is opened to the entire public, not just members.

Other Attractions

Finally, you can visit a bit of history at Mons Claudianus, a site of Roman ruins that is just about an hour from Safaga and straight on the road to the Nile River. Safaga is a convenient location for visiting other Egyptian cities such as Luxor and parts of the Eastern Desert.
