Located at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, Sharm El Sheikh provides access to Ras Mohammed National Park (established 1983), Egypt's first national park. The area's unique position where the Gulf of Suez meets the Gulf of Aqaba creates exceptional marine biodiversity with visibility often exceeding 40 meters.

Dahab, a former Bedouin fishing village on the Sinai Peninsula, is renowned for shore diving accessibility and the legendary Blue Hole. The town's laid-back atmosphere attracts technical divers, freedivers, and budget travelers seeking authentic Red Sea experiences.
