The Basics
The Red Sea lies to the east of Cairo and is easily accessible by road or air. Major coastal towns such as Hurghada and Ain Sokhna offer accommodations ranging from budget-friendly to luxurious resorts. The Red Sea is renowned for its exceptional biodiversity, with over 1,200 species of fish and some of the world’s most beautiful coral reefs. It's a popular destination for water-based activities, including scuba diving, snorkeling, and kite surfing. For those seeking relaxation, the beaches here are well-equipped with loungers, umbrellas, and charming seaside restaurants.

Things to Know Before You Go
Before heading to the Red Sea, ensure you pack essentials like sunscreen, swimwear, and snorkeling gear if you have it. Diving enthusiasts should bring their certification cards, though local dive centers offer training for beginners. The area’s climate is warm year-round, but evenings can get breezy, so light jackets are recommended. Note that the Red Sea is a family-friendly destination, and many resorts cater specifically to families. Always check for red flags or warnings at beaches, as currents can be strong in some areas.
How to Get There
From Cairo, reaching the Red Sea is convenient. Ain Sokhna, the closest coastal destination, is about a 90-minute drive, making it perfect for a quick getaway. For a more vibrant experience, Hurghada is approximately a 5-hour drive or a 1-hour domestic flight. Luxurious buses and private transfers are readily available, offering comfortable travel options. For adventure seekers, self-driving allows you to explore at your own pace while enjoying the scenic desert views.
When to Get There
The best time to visit the Red Sea is between October and April, when temperatures are cooler and more pleasant. These months are ideal for outdoor activities, particularly diving and snorkeling, as the water visibility is excellent. Summer (May to September) can be scorching, but it’s still popular among those who enjoy water sports or prefer lounging by the sea. If you visit during a public holiday, be prepared for crowds, as the Red Sea is a favorite destination for locals and tourists alike.
Day Trips from Cairo
For those on a tight schedule, a day trip to Ain Sokhna is an excellent option. Tour operators offer packages that include transportation, beach access, and meals, ensuring a hassle-free experience. You can spend the day swimming, sunbathing, or taking a boat trip to nearby coral reefs. Alternatively, consider visiting El Gouna or Hurghada if you’re willing to extend your stay. Both towns offer more extensive facilities and attractions, including vibrant nightlife, desert safaris, and world-class diving spots.
