Snorkeling in the Red Sea

I stepped off the bus in my abaya and walked along a walkway with sweat dripping down my back for a walk that did not even last 15 minutes.

I went snorkeling for the first time in the Red Sea. It was a colorful and beautiful place that blew my mind. Within such a small space, the diversity was incredible. In the picture above, you see some purple corals lightly sprinkled on the coast but when you dive deeper into the water, it is full of life.

How was the water?

The water was warm, near body temperature. It was nothing like the ones in the west coast where the water would shock you when you jumped in. It was warm and super clear.
