The blue hole
The Blue Hole is considered one of the most beautiful & dangerous diving locations in the world due to its unique geological formation and its reputation for accidents. We would highly recommended to snorkel only if you are not experienced enough in diving.
The Blue Hole’s name comes from the intense blue color of the water, which is a result of the deep depth and the surrounding coral reef formations. The site attracts experienced divers who are interested in exploring its underwater caves, tunnels, and marine life.
The white desert
The White Desert, also known as the Sahara el Beyda, is a mesmerizing desert region located in the Farafra Depression of western Egypt. It is renowned for its unique and otherworldly landscapes characterized by massive white rock formations that resemble surreal sculptures.
Many visitors are drawn to the White Desert to witness its stunning natural beauty and to explore its fascinating landscapes. Camping under the starry sky is a popular activity, allowing travelers to fully immerse themselves in the tranquility and serenity of the desert. The surreal scenery also provides excellent opportunities for photography, as the shifting light throughout the day creates dramatic and breathtaking vistas.
The black desert
The Black Desert refers to a fascinating desert region located in the western part of the country, specifically in the governorate of New Valley.
The Black Desert gets its name from the dark-colored volcanic rocks that cover the landscape, giving it a distinct appearance. The desert is characterized by vast stretches of black basalt rocks, sand dunes, and small volcanic cones. These volcanic formations were created by ancient volcanic activity in the area.
One of the most iconic features of the Black Desert is the presence of black pyramids, which are actually natural formations resulting from erosion. These pyramid-like structures dot the desert and add to its unique allure.
Marsa Alam
Marsa Alam is a popular tourist destination located on the eastern coast of Egypt, along the Red Sea. It is known for its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant coral reefs, making it a haven for divers, snorkelers, and beach enthusiasts.
It’s one of the best places where you can book a trip to swim with turtles, dugoung (which is a very known animal in Marsa Alam, shown in the pic) & dolphins very easily.
