By boat to the islands of the Red Sea
The experience

The boat leaves the marina, the city shrinks behind you and the water turns every shade of turquoise. First stop: a coral reef, where you slip on your mask and float above parrotfish and clownfish. Then the anchor drops at Orange Bay, a strip of white sand that looks like a postcard from the Maldives. Lunch is served on board, the music is relaxed and the only plan is the next swim. Our most-loved day on the Red Sea.
