Planning Safaga Vacations

Champion and world class water sports, mineral springs and therapeutic spas and luxurious resorts and accommodations await visitors on Safaga Vacations.

Safaga, Egypt

There are very few areas of the world that offer access to world-class water sports such as scuba diving, snorkeling, and kite and windsurfing as well as therapeutic waters and health treatments, and close proximity to some of the most well-known and recognizable historical locations in the world. The port town of Safaga on the Red Sea Coast of Egypt is one place that can boast such a comprehensive appeal.

Safaga vacations are fast becoming a popular choice with native Egyptians and international travelers alike, and this is due to a number of interesting factors. The first is that the region is a recognized destination for champion kite surfers and windsurfers, and was in fact the host of the 1993 World Championships in the sport of windsurfing.

Additionally, it is also known for its remarkable scuba diving, considered to be among the very best in the entire Red Sea area. Those enjoying Safaga vacations dedicated to diving will be guaranteed to sight sharks and mantas as well as towering reefs completely unspoiled by human interference.

A Therapeutic Tourism Center

While the major sporting activities within the waters are the cause for many Safaga vacations, the physical waters themselves are brining more and more people to the area. Safaga is a leading exporter of phosphates, and the area’s black sand dunes and mineral springs, as well as the highly saline and mineral-rich waters bring many arthritis patients and those looking to improve the condition of their skin to the area as well. In fact, Safaga is lining up to be a major therapeutic tourism center within the coming decade.

Safaga vacations can also be about the enjoyment of the entire region since the port also provides daily cruise ship transportation to areas such as Jordan and Saudi Arabia. This means that day trips to area like Petra are easy to arrange and enjoy.

Ancient Attractions Within Reach

Finally, Safaga is only around one hundred and thirty miles from Luxor, the historic location of many major features of ancient Pharaonic Egypt. Visitors enjoying Safaga vacations could easily plan a day trip to the ancient capital and arrange a visit to the Valley of the Kings and the Temple of Karnak and the Luxor Temple before making the short journey back to their hotel or resort.

Safaga is currently home to some excellent hotels, bungalows and accommodations that are continuing to make it one of the more popular and remarkable choices for a vacation in the Red Sea region of Eastern Egypt.
