for backpackers. The development of hotels means Dahab is starting to
become more popular with tourists. Dahab is still one of the Red Sea’s
quieter resorts and is popular with scuba divers with the Blue Hole and
Canyon being internationally renowned dive sites. It is also a popular
destination for windsurfers and from here, you can take a number of day
trips including Mount Sinai and St Catherine’s Monastery.
El Gouna is a man-made resort dating from around 1990 with it’s unique
layout of little islands and canals. The resort specialises in a number
of water sports including scuba diving, snorkelling, wind surfing, kite

options as well as a golf course which was designed in part by Fred
Couples. When the sun goes down, you will find a variety of nightlife to
keep you busy including pubs, restaurants, nightclubs and casinos.
Since investors started pouring money into Hurghada in the 1980s, the
city has grown into one of the leading resorts in the Red Sea. The
resort is fairly spread out over 3 main areas; Downtown which is the old
part, Sekalla and El Korra Road. You’ll find restaurants, bars, shops,
internet cafes and clubs all over Hurghada which has a reputation as a
party town. Although the resort is spread out, getting around is easy in
the mini-buses that travel up and down the resorts all day. During the
day, it is also an international centre for water sports including scuba
diving, snorkelling, fishing and wind surfing.
Makadi Bay is one of the newer resorts on the Red Sea with the first
hotel being built in 1998. It’s a quiet resort with a small number of
hotels making it an ideal place to relax and get away from it all.
Marsa Alam is rapidly becoming a more popular destination, mainly due to
the opening of it’s own international airport in 2001. Some observers
believe it will grow in size to rival Sharm el Sheikh and Hurghada but
at present it is still fairly small. It is located much further south
than other Red Sea resorts and scuba divers often report seeing spinner
dolphins, dugongs and hammerhead sharks. If you fancy a bit of
sightseeing, Luxor is a great option as a full day excursion.
