More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A morning bus rumbles away from Sharm El Sheikh and the Sinai coastline opens into a low, sun-baked promontory where the Red Sea meets limestone cliffs. You step onto sand and rock, guided toward shallow channels where coral gardens begin like an undersea hedge, and a licensed guide checks fins and masks before you slip into transparent water that seems to dare you to look deeper.
