Red Sea

Red Sea

5.0/5

Red Sea is located between northeastern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, and the Egyptian coastal city of Hurghada is the gateway to experiencing the scenery of this sea area. The water here is a deep blue-green with high transparency. Looking down from a boat, the underwater coral reefs are clearly visible. The sprawling coastline, fine soft sand, and year-round abundant sunshine make this small coastal city a well-known resort destination along the Red Sea, where days spent reading, relaxing, and sunbathing are quite pleasant. However, the real highlight of this sea area is underwater. The coral reefs are colorful, with tropical fish like clownfish and stingrays swimming among the rocks, and if you are lucky, you might even encounter wild dolphins. You can take a boat out to Giftun Island and Orange Bay: Giftun Island is a protected marine park where white sandy beaches coexist with surrounding coral reefs, and the waters around Orange Bay are shallow and clear, making it a favorite among snorkeling enthusiasts. Visitors who can swim can experience snorkeling or even scuba diving, while those who cannot swim can ride a semi-submarine to enjoy the underwater world through large portholes. Most boat itineraries depart from the Hurghada marina and usually include a few snorkeling stops. A quick reminder: encountering dolphins depends on luck, so don't force it. The Red Sea is located on the edge of the desert with intense sunlight, so be sure to apply sunscreen before heading out and wear a life jacket when entering the water for a safer experience.Hurghada · >100 km from downtown

Bringing children to the science museum is a great experience. All interactive exhibits are open and there are no extra charges. The volunteer guides are incredibly patient with children, even squatting down to explain the principles behind the exhibits. Many exhibits allow children to operate them themselves, and they can learn a lot of scientific knowledge in just one afternoon. The museum has comfortable air conditioning and plenty of rest areas where children can sit when they get tired. It's cheaper than amusement parks and offers educational value, making it far better value than those trendy, Instagram-worthy amusement parks that are only for taking photos.

my Sharm trip and it’s honestly a solid spot for an evening out. It’s more of an entertainment/dining square than one specific restaurant, so you get a decent mix of places to eat, some shisha spots, and live music most nights which gives it a nice buzz without being overwhelming.Food was good, not mind blowing, but the atmosphere makes up for it lots of families and groups just walking around, kids running about, string lights everywhere. Prices are a bit higher than you’d pay outside the touristy areas but that’s pretty standard for anywhere like this in Sharm.Only gripe is it can get pretty packed on weekends so if you want a table without waiting, go earlier in the evening. Would go back, mainly for the vibe rather than any one specific place there.
