Traditional attitudes prevail in the historic Sinai region on Egypt's border with Israel. The triangular peninsula is divided from the rest of Egypt by the Suez Canal and the Red Sea. Craggy mountains, including 7500-foot Mount Sinai, plunge down to the waters of the Red Sea. Spectacular snorkeling and diving sites beckon from the Gulf of Aqaba to the east of the peninsula, particularly along the dramatic coastline of Na'ama Bay in Sharm el Sheikh. Camelback safaris offer distinctive desert excursions.

Whenever you visit Marsa Alam in Egypt for diving that’s a site you should visit and more than once, you can see in one dive turtles, Napoleons, dolphins, sharks “more than a kind”,mantas with many other creatures. It’s a very rich diving site.

Went on this boat trip to view and swim with dolphins. A very enjoyable day out which included lunch on boat 2 snorkelling stops and a chance to swim with the dolphins in open water. Brilliant excursion.

I have been diving Carless Reef since 1990. It has always been an amazing dive spot. It is also a very important place for scientific research since it was completely eaten alive in 1995 by the Crown Of Thorns Star Fish. and has now re-grown to amazing abundance as it used to be. Carless reef proves how resilient the red Sea corals are and how fast they can re grow.

You can see by my profile that while I don't dive frequently, I have dived all over the world. The Red Sea is a bucket list site for divers- not just me! We dove a handful of sites around Dahab and snorkeled in a lot of places as well and I have to say that the hype is real. Just thinking about it makes me emotional. Vivid, living reef, PACKED with sealife. Even the most casual snorkeling in front of our hotel revealed National Geographic level fish, morays, sea horses, stunning corals of all kinds. Watch out for those lion fish! Staggering, amazing, incredible- DIVES OF A LIFETIME!!!!

We visited the Sataya Reef on Tuesday 18th Sept. It is a long trip from the hotels meaning an early start. For our family who love marine life we had the best experience thanks to our guide team. Firstly Mahmood who's English was excellent and entertained us with his knowledge. We all took seasickness tablets (recommended) as it was fairly windy. We arrived at the reef and sure enough a pod of spinner dolphins were there . We hit the jackpot and swam with them around the reef. We then snorkelled around the coral which was lovely . A lovely lunch and we continued snorkelling. Over 20 spinner dolphins some with babies and were so close! Probably the best trip we have ever done ! The guys on the team were great at getting us into the rib so wr could move around the reef to be near the dolphins. Thank you !
