Red Sea

Red Sea Trips

The Red Sea is an inlet of the Indian Ocean between Africa and Asia, and holidays here offer wonderful opportunities for swimming and snorkelling. Historically it's where Moses parted the sea and led the Jewish people to freedom, but today its also known for some of the best diving in the world, with magnificent underwater wildlife and unique coral gardens.

The 'sea' is connected to the ocean in the south through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the Gulf of Aden. In the north are the Sinai Peninsula, the Gulf of Aqaba and the Gulf of Suez. With year-round sunshine, and just a few hours from the UK, Red Sea holidays are perfect for catching some winter sun.
