Non Divers

So you don't want to dive...

The larger resorts of Sharm and Hurghada bustle with nightlife and traditional markets. You can go quad biking in both these resorts whilst watersports include water skiing in Hurghada to glass-bottom boats in Sharm - and snorkelling in all resorts. The beaches are long and sandy, sloping gently into the warm waters of the Red Sea, then it's back to your sun-bed and relaxation under the shade of a beach umbrella.

Excursions include camel rides, jeep safaris and organised trips to St Catherine's Monastery or Luxor, depending on where you are staying.

The quieter resorts of Nuweiba and Marsa Alam are so ideal for switching off and calming down, that you'll quickly re-energise those life batteries – ready to take on the world once more.

And if you have never tried diving before, take a day out of the rest and relaxation to try a Discover Scuba Diving course with Emperor Divers' award-winning training arm, Emperor Scuba Schools.

For one day, you have the complete attention of a highly professional instructor to take you through the basics of scuba diving. Firstly in the re-assuring confines of a training pool and then out to experience the real thing on one of nature's most fantastic achievements, the coral reef – either direct from the beach or a dive boat.

Then bask in that feeling of triumph back home when you can say you've dived the Red Sea! Pretty impressive!
