Resorts in Egypt: Zaafarana

The resort of Zaafarana was founded relatively recently, but it can already compete even with Sharm El Sheikh. Zaafarana is most suitable for tourists who are tired of the hustle and bustle of large cities and crave a secluded and quiet holiday.

Most hotels in the resort area offer a swimming pool, wonderful views of the Red Sea and green vegetation. The hotels here have helpful staff, comfortable rooms, tennis courts, fitness rooms, playgrounds, discotheques, bars, and restaurants.

Some of the most interesting religious sites in the vicinity of the town are the monastery of St Anthony and the monastery of St Paul, located 30 km from the resort. The monasteries are situated in a rocky area, surrounded by stone walls, behind which you can see the monastic cells, holy springs and churches. There are bakeries, mills and libraries where ancient manuscripts are carefully preserved. At St. Paul's Monastery, one of the 4 churches is located in a cave underground.

And most importantly: Zaafarana is located on the shores of the Red Sea - one of the most beautiful seas in the world. It impresses with the diversity of the underwater world, so it is very popular diving. Zaafarana - this is a great place for recreation, both for fans of quiet family holidays, and for fans of sports and extreme sports.
