Sea of Egypt: Red and Mediterranean

Egypt is an independent Arab Republic and is located in the northeast of Africa and approximately 6% of the Sinai Peninsula. It is washed by two seas: the north of the country - the Mediterranean, which the Egyptians call White, and the east - is washed by the Red. The seas of Egypt and their coasts have a completely different climate, depending on the seasonal winds. In the Red Sea, tourists can afford to swim all year, and in the Mediterranean season is open from May to late October. Therefore, we can say that the seas of Egypt are equally beautiful in all resort towns.

Red sea

The Red Sea is unusual in that it does not have flowing rivers. Experts argue that this can explain the crystal purity of sea water and their temperature regime, very comfortable for recreation. Because of deep temperatures and increased salinity, the water in it is the warmest and the most saline in the World Ocean, and it also has an incredible underwater fauna and flora. Fans of underwater entertainment and diving, this place seems like a paradise. Tourists are attracted to Egypt, the Red Sea, rest on its beaches, not only the hot sun and pleasant sea water, but also famous coral reefs with a rich palette of the underwater world, in which you can see bizarre plants, many beautiful fish species and various marine inhabitants. By the way, corals love only pure and salt water, so we can say that the places here are environmentally friendly. The seas of Egypt seemed to have been created for snorkeling and deep-sea diving with scuba diving. The most prominent cities of the coast are Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh. It was in Hurghada that the first hotels of the highest international class began to appear. It has beautiful sandy beaches with a gradual, gentle entrance to the water, which is perfect for holidaymakers with kids. And Sharm el-Sheikh - the most popular Europeanized resort of the country with an incredible number of bays, bays and excellent service in hotels. Beaches in the city are represented by a long promenade with a variety of cafes, restaurants, shops and nightclubs. The resort is not afraid of the wind due to the ruggedness of the coastline by bays and protection by the mountains.

Mediterranean Sea

Speaking of the Mediterranean, it has become famous for its calm disposition and beauty, although in some seasons the seawater becomes a seething and huge waves crashing to the shore. Since ancient times, Egypt (the Mediterranean Sea especially) is attractive to tourists for its favorable climate, characterized by a hot long summer and a short wet winter. All the coast is strewn with luxury hotels and hotel complexes, as well as small private villas. There are also multi-storey buildings, from which the most vivid view opens, especially during sunset and sunrise. The most popular Mediterranean resorts are Mersa Matruh and Alexandria. Their sandy beaches stretch for tens of kilometers, and in cities you can see ancient sights. Impressions will be unforgettable from boating, swimming under water and bathing in warm sea water. The seas of Egypt are full of numerous sunken artifacts and underwater historical sights many centuries ago.
