Hurghada is the vibrant heart of the Red Sea coast, but if you drive south, the landscape changes. The crowds disappear, the desert meets the sea, and the underwater world becomes even wilder. Here is your guide to the "Hidden Gems" of the South.
1. Safaga (The Wreck & Wellness Hub)
Distance: 60km south of Hurghada.
Famous for: The Salem Express wreck and Panorama Reef. It’s also a world-famous destination for therapeutic black sand (great for psoriasis and joint pain) and kite surfing.
2. El Quseir (The Historical Quiet)
Distance: 140km south.
Vibe: A historic Ottoman fortress town. It offers the most peaceful, shore-based diving on house reefs. Perfect for those who hate boats and want pure silence.
3. Marsa Alam (The Wild Frontier)
Distance: 280km south.
The Star: This is nature at its rawest. It is the home of the “Dugong” (Sea Cow) and giant sea turtles. If you want pristine coral gardens and encounters with rare animals, this is the place.
