Travel in Egypt

Ancient history, desert landscapes, the Nile and some of the most fascinating underwater worlds – Egypt is a destination full of stories, contrasts and unforgettable experiences.

Sharm el-Sheikh Marina

Egypt is an incredibly fascinating country, located close to Europe and often seen as a gateway between Africa and the Middle East. It’s a place shaped by ancient history, desert landscapes, the Nile and world-famous landmarks like the pyramids. So far, I’ve mostly explored Egypt from the water – during a liveaboard trip through the Red Sea and its beautiful underwater world.
