Africa Adventure

The Sinai Desert is in Egypt and includes the Red Sea. The region is famous for two reasons: outstanding scuba divingand Mount Sinai, which is a key Christian monument.

Diving

There are a number of diving sites in the Sinai Peninsula, including:

• Ras Mohamed is considered one of the top 10 diving sites in the world. It’s at the southern tip of the peninsula and contains not one but two reefs: Shark Reef and Jolanda Reef. In 1989 the area was designated a National Park and there are very strict rules against fishing, weighing anchor and collecting shells and coral. On your dive you are a likely to see sharks, barracudas and moray eels. If you have the time and the inclination, Sub Sinai suggests you include Anemone City in your underwater adventure. It’s about 100m to the north-east of Shark Reef and offers a colourful marine landscape you won’t find anywhere else.
