Safaga
Red Sea Governorate, Egypt
City in Red Sea, Egypt. It lies on the Red Sea coast, where the season runs all year and winter is the pleasantest time.
Why visit: The Red Sea holds some of the most accessible coral reefs on earth — warm, clear water and wrecks within an easy boat ride of the shore.
- ›Snorkel or dive — the Red Sea reef is the entire point of this coast
- ›Use reef-safe sunscreen and never stand on coral
- ›Book dives with a PADI or SSI centre, not from the beach touts
- ›Check the wind: the same breeze that makes it a kitesurfing coast can flatten a beach day
