Safaga
سفاجا
A small port town about 55 km south of Hurghada, known for windsurfing, pristine reef diving, and black sand spa treatments.
Safaga is a port town about 55 km south of Hurghada. It sees fewer visitors, and its bay has steady winds. It once hosted a windsurfing world championship. The Panorama Reef, the Abu Kafan reef, and the wreck of the SS Rosalie Moller, a famous dive site, lie offshore, and their corals are well preserved. The local black mineral sand is believed to have therapeutic effects on skin conditions. The town is also one of the starting points of the road to Luxor. It suits divers and visitors who want to avoid crowds. The wreck is of a ship lost at sea, so please show respect while diving.
