Egypt's Red Sea Coast is the Caribbean of Africa. Turquoise waters. Colorful corals. Tropical sea creatures. This stretch of seashore, more than 800 km from the Gulf of Suez to Egypt's border with Sudan, offers one marvel after another. And they aren't all underwater. Egypt's Eastern Desert - the mountainous fringe that meets the deep - boasts monasteries, ancient rock art sites and even a national park. What's more, the Red Sea Coast has many kid friendly hotels. It's no wonder families - from budget conscious to luxury travelers - are flocking here in the thousands.
