While some enjoyed a snorkeling adventure in the stunning Red Sea, others opted to remain at the resort for an extra day of rest and relaxation.
The Red Sea is known for its rich marine life, featuring over 1,200 species of fish, many of which are endemic. The coral reefs are among the most diverse and vibrant in the world, making it a popular destination for snorkeling and scuba diving. The snorkelers were not disappointed!
The Red Sea is a seawater inlet of the Indian Ocean, stretching approximately 2,300 kilometers (1,400 miles) between northeastern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. It is bordered by Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen. It plays a crucial role in international shipping, connecting to the Mediterranean Sea via the Suez Canal and the Gulf of Aden to the south.
We have always wondered why the “Red” in Red Sea. It turns out the name “Red Sea” likely originates from the reddish-brown color of certain types of algae that can bloom in its waters.
