Holidays should be exactly what they say on the tin: relaxing, rejuvenating and restorative. Fortunately the Red Sea got the same memo.

Immerse yourself in the lifestyle of the local Bedouin people - and their camels, of course - and unwind along the city’s famous coastline. If you’re a keen diver, delve deep beneath the Red Sea’s gentle waves and discover the superb marine life of endemic fish species and 400 types of coral that can be found here, or opt to stay above water on a sunset boat cruise.
