Bir Shalatein

Bir Shalatein is a small village located on the Egyptian border with Sudan. Once a major sea port, the area is now known for its proximity to some spectacular diving sites. Many resorts further north on the Red Sea coast travel to this area, such is the standard of natural beauty found beneath the sea here. These are all areas where the bustling world of international tourism is yet to shake up the natural order of life, and as they are further south than the large tourist resorts, visitors can find some of the Red Sea’s best diving sites.
