Only few kilometers from northern Safaga lies Sharm El-Naga Bay, although one of a kind Red Sea destination famous for water sports and climatotherapy, Safaga is unfortunately an underrated destination, that’s not getting as much attention as its peers. What’s very special about Sharm El-Naga is how the coral reefs are close to shore, so you do not need to take a boat or swim for a long distance to reach that little piece of heaven. Be ready to spot octopuses, colorful fish, beautiful, healthy and full of life fire & fan corals while enjoy fresh crystal clear waters.
