More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the air-conditioned van and the heat of Cairo loosens its grip—salt and sea air push forward like an invitation. The Gulf of Suez opens in front of you: low dunes, a band of hotel roofs, and the Red Sea stretching flat and luminous. A day-use room at Doma Marina Resort gives you a base to rinse off sand and spread a towel; the shore is yours for a few hours of swimming, sun, and quiet.
