Egypt has plenty going for it when it comes to holidays. As one of the greatest civilisations the world has ever seen, the ancient Egyptians left their legacy in the form of the massive pyramids which continue to baffle historians and amaze visitors to this day.

But there’s more to Egypt than mummies; one of the biggest draws to this African country in recent years is its incredible Red Sea coral reefs, which make it one of the best scuba-diving sites in the world and the closest tropical reefs to Europe.

Contrary to its name, the Red sea is in fact a deep blue colour and is extremely rich in sea life. It’s the conditions which make the Red sea such a haven for divers; the water temperatures average 22C in summer making it ideal for diving, the visibility is very good and there is little wave action. And there’s also plenty to see too with over 1000 species of invertebrates, over 1000 species of fish and around 200 types of coral, which in places stretch out to sea forming an elaborate system of underwater caves, gardens, lagoons and plateaus.

Egypt offers hundreds of superb diving sites and Sharm el Sheikh is one of the best known areas to see incredible aqua life. Take a visit to Jackfish Alley, an ideal spot for an afternoon dive of exploring submarine caves and observing the massive schools of glassfish, which sweep back and forth with the currents; while it’s also possible to see titan triggerfish, manta rays, sting rays and white tips. Or how about the famous Eel Garden, a sandy submarine beach that is home to an impressive colony of garden eels which emerge from their holes and sway with the current as they search for plankton.

Backed by desert sands and sun bleached mountains, Sharm el Sheikh enjoys miles of exquisite soft white sands, with a fantastic range of quality accommodation from all-inclusive luxury resorts to bed and breakfast hotels. There is also plenty to keep visitors occupied after dark with dozens of shops, clubs, bars and discos along with traditional ’sheesha’ cafes and food markets.

Egypt’s blend of ancient history, rich culture, world class diving and fantastic beaches means that more and more Brits are making the journey out to this African gem, and with plenty of tour operators offering cheap holidays in Sharm el Sheikh, it’s likely to remain one of Egypt’s most popular holiday destinations for some time to come.

Matt A asked:


I watched this thing on Muslim prophesy that said that the Euphates River will dry up and the mountains of Gold within the river will be seen. So, how does a mountain exist under a river, and why arent the muslims diving for the Gold? It showed a newspaper clipping in an arabic newspaper that showed Bush wanting that gold because of satalyte photos lol.

Josh M asked:


I’m going to start my first scuba diving class on Friday and was hoping i could get some tips first. What mistakes did you make and what should i do to avoid them? That sort of thing would be great. The first class is just going to be a classroom, but the one on Saturday we actually go in the water.

Luteybooty asked:


Im going on a vacation, never been scuba diving before. Where is there a place to rent scuba gear for a reasonable price? I dont want a pool or set up atmosphere- I’m looking for reef and actual marine wildlife. I’m assuming these are guided experiences. About 100 mile radius from Orlando. Thank you for any help.

I have 2 old scuba tanks and I also have a kegerator. I want to know if I can use one old scuba tank, fill them with CO2 and use one for my kegerator?

Just Me asked:


My husband and I are interested in scuba diving when we take a trip to Florida. Although we are both good swimmers and frequently snorkel, we have never tried scuba diving. We have looked in to taking classes and they are very pricey. To get certified in our city, it will cost us $500 and that does not include equipment. I think it is a little pricey especially since we might shell out all the money and not enjoy it as much as snorkeling. I see scuba diving excursions in Florida all the time, do you have to be certified to go on a beginner dive? Can we take a dive excursion that offers not certification but a quick beginner lesson before going out? My husbands ready to sign up for the certification classes but I’d prefer to try it out first. Any advice appreciated
