For a more tranquil experience, a traditional dahabiya cruise on the Nile offers a peaceful voyage through history, with stops at the Edfu and Kom Ombo temples. During the hotter months, Egypt’s coastal resorts along the Red Sea and the Mediterranean offer world-class snorkelling, diving, and other water sports with vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life.
