Red Sea

Red Sea

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

The Blue Hole is located on the surface of the Red Sea on the north side of Dahab. It is said to be 300 meters deep. A deep blue circular deep pool is formed here on the sea surface. It is not only rich in marine resources, but also of very high scientific value. Very good place for diving. It's really beautiful, clear water, and you can see a lot of fish with the naked eye. If you come to Dahaba without snorkeling in the Blue Hole, you will be in vain. Even if you can't swim, you can snorkel here. There are all kinds of fish underwater. One side is the coral mountain, and the other side is bottomless. blue hole.Qesm Saint Katrin · 50.7 km from downtown

St. Catherine's Monastery is located at the foot of Moses Mountain on the Sinai Peninsula on the east-west traffic route, that is, at the foot of Mount Moses. It was built by monks who took refuge in Sinai from the 4th to the 6th century to commemorate the girl Catherine who devoted herself to the faith. The Sinai Peninsula has always been a battleground for military strategists. Since the 6th century AD, Sinai has suffered several wars, but St. Catherine's Monastery has remained intact. During the rule of the Ottoman Empire, Napoleon's invasion, and even the Israeli occupation, the monastery was not damaged and became one of the most prestigious monasteries in the area. The size of the monastery is very large, and it looks like an ancient city from the outside. The main church of the monastery is a rectangular limestone building. The wooden door at the entrance of the church is made of Lebanese cedar. There are reliefs of animals, flowers and leaves on the door, which is a masterpiece of a Byzantine artist. In addition to the main church, the monastery also preserves many precious cultural relics, such as a collection of 2,000 holy paintings, including nearly 3,000 manuscripts in 12 languages including Greek, Turkish, Persian, Latin, Armenian, and Coptic. Among them, there are rare and ancient translations of the "Bible" - the "Torah" in ancient Syriac in the 5th century AD, the edicts and decrees issued by the ancient caliphs and sultans to the monasteries.Qesm Saint Katrin · 24.5 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.

Mount Sinai is the highest mountain in the Sinai Peninsula. There are mountains for hundreds of kilometers. And because of the dry weather, there are not many plants on the mountain, which looks very desolate. But when you come to the top of Mount Sinai, you can overlook the surrounding mountains, and the scenery is still very magnificent.

The monastery is home to "descendants of the burning bush that was said to have descended from God on Mount Sinai." Regardless, this is one of the most important monasteries in Egypt. It is built in the Orthodox style of the Ottoman period and has many ancient icons.
