| Egypt - Sea Activities |
A wide range of activities depending on your personal interests.
Windsurfing With their minor swells, glorious sunshine and winds that regularly reach 30 knots, the Egyptian seas boast perfect conditions for windsurfing in some truly idyllic settings. Whether you're a first-timer or a full-blown fanatic, there are sites and schools everywhere to suit your level of experience. Just a couple of hours from Cairo, Ras Sudr has a growing reputation as one of the world's top windsurfing destinations, with its steady climatic conditions as well as its famous dolphins that frolic beside you in the water.
Windsurfing locations :
The Bay of Masbat and Moon Beach on the Sinai Peninsula have the best conditions for windsurfing. Dahab and El Tur have some of the best conditions too. Other good spots include Safaga and Hurghada on the mainland Red Sea coast, especially Makadi Bay.
Sailing Nothing beats the exhilaration of catching the wind in the sails of your very own felucca. It's the most private, personal way to enjoy Egypt's calm saltwater lakes and seas. Whether on your own or with a few good friends, you can go sailing down almost all of Egypt's major waterways, including the clear, warm Red and Mediterranean seas and the majority of its myriad lakes.
Sailing locations :
Many of the most popular sailing spots are on the Red Sea coast : Hurghada or El Gouna on the mainland, or Sharm el-Sheikh and Dahab on the Sinai Peninsula. There are several specialist sailing schools and rental centres at Sharm and around Alexandria, on the Mediterranean coast.
Fishing
The Nile does not only have stunning scenery, it is also the natural habitat for some of the biggest freshwater fish in the world and is famous for its gargantuan, 200 pound perch. From Lake Nasser's tiger fish and vundi catfish to Lake Tilapia's bread and butter fish, there are endless places to cast off for your catch of the day.
As well as it's freshwater lakes and rivers, the salty Red Sea is teeming with big game. Every year, Hurghada plays host to an international fishing tournament, attracting off season fisherman from all over the world, in search of their own prize specimens.
Yachting
With new marinas springing up all over the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt's quickly growing into a major regional hub for yachting. So if a cramped felucca or crowded cruise aren't quite your scene, you can yacht your way down the Nile, the Red Sea or the Mediterranean in full-blown, five-star luxury. Whether you're after a single day trip or several days of rest and relaxation, there are flexible itineraries enabling you to plan your time as you wish.
Yachting locations :
The best places for yachting are on the Red Sea. Yachts are available in Sharm el-Sheikh and Dahab on the Sinai Peninsula. Hurghada and El Gouna are also great spots if you are on the mainland. And there are other locations all along the Mediterranean coast and along the Nile.
Snorkelling
Egypt's underwater seascapes of technicolour coral reefs and tropical fish are seen at their best close-up, but you don't have to be a diver to sample the spectacular view. Snorkelling is a safe, simple alternative if diving is a bit too daunting. You don't need bulky equipment or much instruction and you can go virtually anywhere.
Snorkelling locations :
You can go snorkelling almost anywhere you find a hospitable stretch of water. All the best views are along the Red Sea coast, in Sharm el-Sheikh and Dahab on the Sinai Peninsula or Hurghada and El Gouna on the mainland.
Diving
The Sea has been a highway of communication for many centuries, and was a source of fascination for Henry de Monfreid, the adventure loving “pirate”, and much later, the legendary and pioneering couple Hans and Lotte Hass perfected the art of underwater photography here. In their wake came Cousteau who, somewhat controversially, introduced all the thrills and excitement of its depths to the general public: reef fishes and precious corals, pelagics and nudibranchs, spectacular shipwrecks and fascinating archaeological sites. Nowadays, the Red Sea can pride itself on a more eco-friendly approach. There are conservation measures – consequently, divers are now fined if they break the rules. Divers have readily taken these changes on board, and their continued support for the region has turned the Egyptian “aquarium” into one of the finest scuba diving regions in the world. So, don your masks, slip into your flippers, and take the plunge! |
