Everyone knows that Egypt has a pyramid, but not many know that the Red Sea exists.The Red Sea is not only found in Egypt in the first place, but also in other countries (such as Sudan, Eritrea, Yemen and Saudi Arabia).
The Red Sea is located in between the northeastern part of the African continent and the Arabian Peninsula.The visibility is high due to the small amount of rainfall in the area and the lack of a river that flows into the Red Sea.
Since the Red Sea is a sea closed by the Suez Canal in the north and the Mandab Strait in the south, it is said to have many biological endemic species.

The resorts of the Red Sea prefecture have long been very popular with European tourists, as they can be reached from their country in five or six hours and serve as a base for visiting Egypt's historic heritage. You can enjoy staying at your own budget, from luxurious 5-star resorts to local budget hotels.
Hurghada is the prefectural capital of Red Sea. Red Sea Prefecture is a long-distance prefecture on the eastern coast of the Red Sea in Egypt,
and two-thirds of the total population of Red Sea Prefecture of approximately 380,000 live in Hurghada City.
Hurghada's main industry is tourism. During the busy season, the number of Hurghada residents could be much higher than this population,
as there are several resort hotels that can accommodate thousands of tourists and migrant workers from other prefecture.
「Hurghada is the epitome of Egypt」Sahel Hassyh district, where there are luxury resort built on the seaside, Some of them has no Egyptian atmosphere that makes you may forget you are in Egypt.
In the Shigara district, you'll find tourists and friendly Egyptian merchants happily bargaining at many souvenir shops on Main Street.The Kausal area is still a new area with many banks' Red Sea branches.
The Iddahar district is the center of old Hurghada and has many government offices. Many inhabitants live there. In the residential area, children play soccer in the street until late at night, and men gather at tea houses to watch soccer games.
Many teahouses are crowded with people watching football league games in Egypt and abroad.
Egypt has been worried about security such as terrorism since the Arab Spring (2011), but in reality, general security is not bad.
Of course, since the Arab Spring, the economic downturn and rising prices have become worse year by year, and people's lives have become more difficult.
For that reason, we hear stories of snatching and robberies in urban areas such as Cairo, but most Egyptians are kind and cheerful and dislike harming others.
Although the number of reserves, burrows, snatches, etc. is increasing compared to the past, it seems that it is still less than in other countries.
We often hear about troubles such as the price of souvenirs, but there is not much violent damage.
You should be able to enjoy a safe and enjoyable stay in Egypt if you pay attention to the fact that you are a foreign tourist and take basic precautions while traveling.
