Red Sea Riviera

Egypt’s Red Sea Riviera delivers high-visibility waters, steady northerlies and reef-sheltered anchorages within reach of modern marinas. You will find concise passages from El Gouna and Hurghada to the Straits of Gubal, and south from Port Ghalib into a string of ‘marsa’ bays renowned for turtles and dolphins. Navigation is visual and rewarding, but it demands discipline: reefs are intricate, lights are sparse and dusk arrivals are best avoided. Choose your season wisely, brief your crew, and you will be rewarded with some of the clearest snorkelling on earth and long, confidence-building reaches between waypoints. This guide sets out the key sailing areas, expected winds and climate, entry points, anchorages and marinas, with practical notes on chartering and formalities so you can plan with precision and sail with assurance.
