What the community said
Egypt’s Red Sea is highly rated for snorkeling: some travelers say the coral and fish life here can be even more impressive than in the Caribbean. If your priority is marine life, Dahab and the nearby reef areas are considered a very strong choice.

If you are not looking for sandy beaches but specifically for living reefs for snorkeling and freediving, focus on areas closer to the Blue Hole and protected reef zones. These are the spots people usually choose for coral and rich marine life.

Strong reef spots are often found on headlands and exposed sections with current, because those conditions can attract more marine life. One example mentioned was Amphoras Reef, which is praised for marine life but also known for stronger current.
