How about a trip to Egypt East Coast

If you’re looking for a beachside hotel with easy access to some of the best diving in the world, under gin-clear blue skies all year round, and with a backdrop of mountains and desert… look no further (except perhaps the Sinai Peninsula!) than Eastern coastal Egypt. The hotels here are often large, with a large number of pools, all back onto the beaches facing the beautifully warm Red Sea and all offer diving facilities, courses or equipment. Outside of the hotels, there isn’t a great deal to do as the towns here are largely geared towards tourists, but there are some traditional markets in the larger towns and an increasing number of operators offering trips into the desert, should the sea not be “your thing”.
