You step from an air-conditioned minibus onto a strip of white sand, the Red Sea laid out like a sheet of glass mottled with coral shadows. The air smells faintly of salt and sunblock; guides sort masks and brief the group while camels graze a short distance away. Sharm El Naga is a compact coastal bay where shallow reefs begin almost at the shoreline, making it a reliable spot for first-time snorkelers and experienced mask-and-fins folk alike.
