The Red Sea Coast consists of the resort cities lying on the western shore of the Gulf of Aqaba and along the eastern coast of mainland Egypt south of the Gulf of Suez. The combination of a favorable climate, warm sea, thousands of kilometers of shoreline, abundant natural and archaeological points of interest makes this stretch of Egypt s coastline a popular national and international tourist destination. The Sinai Peninsula, often shortened to Sinai is the easternmost part of Egypt between the Mediterranean and the Gulfs of Suez and Aqaba, both forks of the Red Sea. The western and northern coasts are practically uninhabited, but several Bedouin settlements and tourist attractions dot the eastern coast. The reason most tourists come here are the vistas underwater: the Sinai coast offers some of the best diving in the world. This book offers information on the Red Sea Coast and Sinai Peninsula in Egypt.
