You leave Cairo before dawn, the city shrinking behind you as the desert flattens into the Gulf of Suez. By mid-morning the Red Sea opens up—blue water pushing toward horizon, a warm breeze coaxing salt from the surface. The driver drops you at El Ein El Sokhna; breakfast is set out, umbrellas and chairs line a stretch of sand, and the sea dares you to dive in.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen

Pack water and reusable bottle
Bottled water may be provided on the vehicle, but bring extras and a reusable bottle to stay hydrated in the sun.
Wear water shoes
Sandy beaches can include rocky or shelly patches near shore—water shoes protect feet and make snorkeling easier.
