Red Sea

Warm water, coral reefs and the calm at the end of an ancient journey.

About Red Sea

Why go to Red Sea

After a week of temples and tombs, the Red Sea is the reward. Hurghada and the quieter Marsa Alam sit on some of the clearest, warmest water in the world, with coral reefs a short boat ride — or a few steps — from shore.

It's the perfect second half to a history trip, and works beautifully for families or anyone who wants a real break built into the itinerary.

When to visit

Year-round. The water stays warm even in winter, making it a great pairing with cooler-season history touring.

Very — calm water, all-inclusive resorts and plenty for children make it an easy end to an Egypt trip.
