By pyramids and splendid aqueducts that transported water to the cities, the Red Sea was famous for its calm waters, and excellent diving spots. It is not only about the picturesque modern-day resort but also about a very intense and colorful nature.
The underwater life is so expansive that even the corals could not be more colorful. Therefore, it is said that the reefs of the region are the “crown jewels” of the Red Sea. The most prominent sites of Elphinstone Reef and Sataya Reef (Dolphin Reef) are very famous among divers and snorkelers for their encounters with the dolphins, turtles, and fishes.
