Red Sea

Egypt's Red Sea coast resort and diving destination, home to Hurghada, El Gouna and Marsa Alam.

The Red Sea Governorate stretches along Egypt's eastern Red Sea coast, backed by the mountains of the Eastern Desert; its capital is Hurghada. Hurghada and El Gouna are well-established resort areas, Safaga and Quseir suit diving and quiet getaways, and Marsa Alam in the south is known for its undeveloped coral reefs, sea turtles and dugongs. Along the coast you can also visit Wadi El Gemal National Park and head out on desert adventures. The climate is dry and good for holidays all year, with spring and autumn the most comfortable. Hurghada and Marsa Alam both have international airports, and you can also arrive by road from Luxor.
