Guide to Help You Enjoy your Holiday in Red Sea
All inclusive Red Sea holidays are set along the coast of Egypt discounting the Sinai Peninsula. The coast here was cherished in ancient times for its quarries full of gold, copper and turquoise and is popular with visitors today for its exotic marine life and white sandy beaches. More than 777 miles long, the Red Sea coast stretches from the Suez Canal to the border of Sudan. All inclusive packages in the Red Sea are become more amenity friendly as demand for vacating in the region grows. Many new hotels and resorts are cropping up about its shore preparing for the higher numbers of expectant visitors on Autumn breaks.

At the most northern end of the coast on Red Sea holidays lays Suez, a spectacular canal and fishing port that has been renovated in recent years due to the damage inflicted on the port in Israeli skirmishes in the 60’s and 70’s. Suez port is a highly commercial business and is one of Egypt’s most prominent fishing ports on the coast. However, the town is not really equipped for the full tourist experience on holidays at the Red Sea it might be wise to look for somewhere more amenity friendly.
Further down the coast you will find the seaside town of Hurghada which 20 years ago was little more than a minor fishing village. The town is now a choice all inclusive holiday Red Sea destination whose main income is motivated by tourist traffic. Highly recommended activities including scuba diving and snorkelling where the dive centres there are will cater for all your water sports needs. For something a little different on Red Sea all inclusive why not take a submarine tour from Sinbad Village where you can spot the colourful fish and pink coral along the sea bed.
