Egypt

Egypt is a transcontinental country joining the northeast corner of Africa with the southwest corner of Asia, with the Mediterranean Sea to the north and the Red Sea to the east. Egypt is perhaps best known for its incredible history as the land of the Pharaohs and as a cradle of civilisation. This rich cultural heritage makes Egypt a fascinating travel destination, even before we consider the many excellent diving opportunities found here.

Egypt has an unusually hot, dry, sunny climate, with most of the land surface consisting of desert. The coast’s stunning combination of sunshine and warm blue waters full of life has attracted divers since the 1950s and it continues to be regarded as one of the best scuba diving destinations in the world.
