On the Red Sea, Port Safaga is set on a sandy bay about five miles long. It benefits from the same thermal, blowing all year round winds as its near neighbour, Hurghada. This is a good spot for slalom surfers, waves out on the open seas get up to a metre high.
Port Safaga is also a well known diving location.
