Beaches on the Red Sea
The Egyptian coast of the Red Sea is the best place to relax throughout the year. Most of the beaches are sandy, which is wonderful for families, especially with young children. Coral beaches, that is, beaches where the bottom is covered with corals, are also available, but they are much smaller. The reasons for their appearance are extremely simple: some hotels were built after the adoption of the law on the protection of the Red Sea, and the owners were deprived of the opportunity to cut corals, artificially deepen the sea, creating comfortable bathing lagoons.
Coral beaches have their pros and cons. Special pontoons and shoes help to keep the feet of the bathing safely and securely, and in return a rest is given to the preserved beautiful flora and fauna inhabiting the Red Sea.
