There are two main areas for diving, one in the south centered around the huge international jet-setting resorts at Sharm el-Sheikh, and another more laid-back area, but still with plenty of facilities, around the town of Nabq, which is where I stayed for about a week in January of 2010. I made one trip down to Ra´s Muhammad Marin National Park at the extreme south end of the Sinai Peninsula, but spent the rest of my time around Nabq's various dive areas.

The waters off the eastern shore of Egypt's Sinai Peninsula are a wonderful place for people who like exploring the underwater world. The low rainfall in this area helps to ensure that the water is crystal clear most of the time, and the almost landlocked shape of the Red Sea means that there are many species here which are found nowhere else in the world.
