DIVING
SITES:
1.
DAHAB,
SINAI
Dahab, the little Bedouin village on the peninsula of Sinai,
in the Gulf of Aqaba is one of the top dive spots in the world.
The waters beyond the reefs plunge to a depth of 1,850m and
provide the opportunity of seeing marine life within a few
meters of the sandy beach.
Dahab has something for everyone with its diving, snorkeling,
kite-boarding, windsurfing, camel or horse riding, quad biking
in the desert to shopping or relaxing at many of the wonderful
beach front restaurants.
Each dive site has a unique charm and character with lots
to discover. Water entry is as easy as crossing over the reef
flat and descending. Enjoy drifting along the sheer drop-off
at the Blue Hole or search for turtles and octopus at the
Canyon. Diving is described as a retreat from the every day
routine and is a great way to relax on your holiday.
Climate:
In Dahab extremely dry desert conditions prevail throughout
the summer with temperatures up to 40 C. During the cold winter
months the temperature can drop to as low as 15 C.
Clothing:
In the summer, light cotton clothing would be sufficient but
in the winter, jackets and warm pullovers might be required.

2. HURGHADA, EGYPT
Another
popular dive site is Hurghada, founded in the early 20th century
and until a few years ago it remained a small fishing village.
Today it is known as one of the top tourist resort areas of
the Red Sea. Its unique underwater gardens offshore are some
of the finest in the world. The warm waters are ideal for
countless varieties of rare fish and coral reef which can
be observed through glass bottom boats or by diving or snorkeling.
This area boasts many deluxe accommodations offering friendly

many fine restaurants situated along the main street. Be sure
