Quseir has the longest coastal fringing reef of the mainland coast in the Red Sea. Rich, colourful, teeming with marine life, at times can be a bit challenging due to the very open sea, its currents and waves. But some resorts have excellent snorkelling sites just on spot – one of them, the reef at the Moevenpick Quseir, with easy access either from the sandy little beach, or from the dedicated pontoon. Snorkelling is ”the” watersport par excellence in the Red Sea. With the wealth of underwater life in all destinations, snorkelling is an easy and very enjoyable way to spend some time and discover the wonders of the marine life. Whether you go out from your resort beach, or you spend a day or half a day on a snorkelling boat, you will collect unforgettable memories! In the Red Sea, snorkelling is particularly easy, as the high salinity of the water allows you to float almost without effort. Follow though our Snorkelling Guide tips, for those areas where currents and waves can make it a bit more challenging. One of the nicest spots for snorkelling in Quseir is the reef in front of Movenpick Hotel. Enter from the beach or hop in from the pontoon in front of the dive centre. In all hotels, anyhow, you will find watersport and diving centres hiring snorkelling equipment, and organising guided and non-guided snorkelling trips to the best places in the area. They also cater to the tiny ones, with professional guides teaching your kids how to use snorkel, mask and fins, for an experience they will never forget. Another way to have some great snorkelling is joining one of the scuba diving boats, going out on daily basis for half day or full day trips to the best sites in the area. Have a look at our Diving and Snorkelling Maps to check out the names and location of the area’s snorkelling sites. |
