Several geographic facts
Today Sharm el-Sheikh is located 35 kilometers off the coast of the Egyptian Red Sea Riviera. Residential areas and an endless line of hotels also stretch here. The Nabq region occupies the north of the Egyptian Riviera resort Sharm el-Sheikh. It is located very close to the airport, but you should not be afraid of the noise of airliners taking off - you can hardly hear it. However, the Egyptian Red Sea Riviera, like all nature, has surprises and is unpredictable. So in Nabq, strong winds and a wide coastal reef may be the only negative. But the strip between the edge of the reef and the coast will allow those who appreciate shallow water and a gentle entrance to enjoy the sea, as well as provide an opportunity to get to know the Riviera.

Surprisingly, all the beauties of the underwater kingdom can be found in one place on the Riviera.

Despite the fact that the Red Sea Riviera recently acquired such a popular young resort, which can only partly boast of sights, there is still something to see. First of all, the Colored Canyons of the Riviera are worth a visit, which are narrow crevices in the rocks and look like a layer cake due to the multi-colored rock. Monument rocks can be seen in the White Canyon.
