The road peels away from Cairo’s traffic and, within an hour to 90 minutes on the new desert highway, the city’s density gives up to open sky and the hard gleam of the Red Sea. On arrival at Ain El Sokhna the sand is broad and warm underfoot, and small coves and hotel marinas frame stretches of clear water that invite snorkeling and jet-skiing.
