Beyond the well-known resorts of Hurghada, Egypt's Red Sea coast stretches much further south, with some of the country's best diving and snorkelling right off the shore.
Soma Bay: golf, diving and dramatic scenery
Kempinski Hotel Soma Bay brings five-star polish to this striking peninsula resort, known for its championship golf course and some of the Red Sea's most accessible reef diving.
Safaga and Marsa Alam: further south, further off the beaten track
Amarina Abu Soma Resort Aquapark offers family-friendly waterpark fun in Safaga, a quieter alternative to Hurghada with its own strong windsurfing reputation. Further south still, Blend Elphistone Resort puts you close to Marsa Alam's world-class dive sites, including the famous Elphinstone Reef, making it a strong pick for anyone whose holiday revolves around what's under the water as much as what's above it.
