The beaches of the Red Sea are an exquisite gift of nature. The sea with its crystal clear blue waters, offers colourful corals and rare marine life. It has been said that this is a must visit for all diving enthusiasts. The long chain of mountains, with their different colours, run parallel to the coastline, separated from the sea only by a plain, most of which is suitable for camping. All these elements, the work of the Creator, blend into a rare painting of magnificent winter and summer climate and enchanting natural beauty that charms the visitor into believing he is on a legendary tour of a paradise on earth.
