Snorkeling is a favorite for many tourists who visit tropical regions and other places with clear waters and vibrant marine life. There certainly are numerous places around the globe to snorkel even though many may only associate this activity with the Caribbean Islands. Visitors to Egypt, especially the Sinai Peninsula know better. The city of Taba located along the Gulf of Aqaba is a great place to enjoy snorkeling and is part of the Marine Park of the area. The Gulf of Aqaba features several hundred types of fish and well over 100 coral species. This provides plenty to see for visitors skimming along the water’s surface.
There are several locations and centers that offer snorkeling to visitors. Beginners can learn the basics at any number of dive centers and everyone benefits from the specialized excursions to view the truly spectacular areas around the beaches of Taba. Snorkeling in Taba provides a great chance to cool off from the desert heat of Egypt.
