Egypt located between two seas which make it rich in beaches and wonderful sea views, so you have all the sea activities available for you at any time.

Scuba Diving, for example, is one of the amazing sea activities which helps you discover the world under the sea, the coral reefs in crystal clear waters, and relax on sandy shores.

Diving is a very interesting sport but the existing of cities under the sea diving start to be much more interesting.

Under the Abu Qir Bay off the coast of Egypt, there is a Lost City called Heracleion that including 64 ships, 700 anchors, gold coins, many statues, and the remains of a huge temple for the god Amun.

Within the desert, you can ride camels, which are so interesting in their way of walking and riding that make it more fun. Sunset is fascinating in the desert with amazing views and colors, it is totally different world than a sunset in the sea but both agree that you will have a great moment.

Sandboard is one of the desert activities that you will enjoy the most. If you just get sick of the snow you have to go for the sand it’s more fun. In the desert, you can also go for hiking to the top of Sinai mountain or any other mountain in Egypt for a crazy adventure and an interesting life.
