Red Sea Coral Reefs, Egypt

Red Sea Coral Reefs, fringing Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, are among the world’s most resilient and colorful reefs. Thriving in warm, saline waters, these reefs host 1,200+ fish species and 300+ coral types—10% found nowhere else. Iconic sites like Ras Mohammed National Park offer drift dives amid clownfish, dolphins, and WWII shipwrecks. Unlike global reefs, they resist bleaching due to unique heat-adapted algae. A snorkeling paradise where desert meets marine wonder, balancing mass tourism with fragile biodiversity.
