Spend several hours enjoying the beach amenities at a luxury resort that overlooks one of the prime areas of the Red Sea.

After departing from the pier, you will soon arrive at a luxury resort on the Red Sea, where you will spend the next several hours relaxing as you see fit. With no schedule to follow, you will be free to enjoy the amenities at the resort’s private beach at your leisure.

You might stroll the stretch of powdery sand with nothing on your mind but enjoying the gorgeous setting. Or you may prefer to lie back in a comfortable lounge chair and read an engaging bestseller. How you pass the time is totally up to you, but basking in the warm glow of the sun is always a great choice, even if only for a short while.

Swimming is another excellent option. Besides being immensely refreshing, the waters in the Red Sea are among the world’s saltiest because no freshwater rivers empty into the sea and rainfall is minimal.

Still, snorkeling draws most of the attention. Despite its name, much of the Red Sea is crystal-clear and the large coral reefs just offshore attract plenty of marine life. Schools of brightly colored tropical fish, sea turtles and graceful rays are commonly spotted.

Of course, you won’t be obliged to do anything more than relax. So settle in and enjoy the amenities at the private beach until it’s time to catch the transfer back to the pier.
