Red Sea Riviera

Red Sea Riviera

The Red Sea Riviera consists of the resort cities lying on the western shore of the Gulf of Aqaba and along the eastern shore of mainland Egypt south of the Gulf of Suez. This long stretch of coast line is referred to as the Red Sea Riviera. Most of the Red Sea Riviera is a National Park, or belongs to some protectorate, both under water and on land. Desert and marine life are protected by a number of laws, and visitors not abiding to the regulations may be subjected to heavy fines.
