Egypt

The Red Sea or "El Bahar Ahmer" in Arabic, is a narrow, long blue ribbon lying between the African continent and the Arabian Peninsula.

With a length of 2000 kms and a depth of 2359 mtrs. it is one of the best playgrounds for scuba diving.

The countries bordering the Red Sea are to the West: Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Dschjibouti and Somalia. Saudi Arabia and Jemen are sharing the East side. To the North, at the Gulf of Aquaba, a short coast area near Eilat is belonging to Israel and another small piece of coastline around Aquaba is belonging to Jordan.

The Red Sea is lying in the middle of a desert area. Wind and waves have formed the coast cliffs to wonderful sculptures. Apart from the oases and the wadis - outdried river valleys - the area is a deserted, sandy and stony place.

But it is a totally different landscape welcoming you beneath the surface, who knows maybe that was the reason why Moses divided the sea, or maybe it was due to bad or non-existing scuba education at that time.....

At the end of each day of diving you can enjoy the sunset, a light warm breeze and a feeling of pleasure from the top of your hair to the end of your fins.
