You step off the air-conditioned minivan and the Red Sea takes over: a horizontal ribbon of turquoise, fingers of coral, and a yawning circle of deeper blue that dares you closer. The Blue Hole’s rim sits low to the water, a natural amphitheater where snorkeling lines of color play against drop-offs and the Three Pools lie like calm mirrors tucked along the shoreline.
