Amazing reefs to explore, fantastic conditions for kite and windsurfing, endless beaches with black and golden sand dunes, a cultural day trip to Mons Claudianus where the remains of a Roman quarry lie, the peace and serenity of a newly founded tourist resort… this is Safaga City.

Once a small port town that exported its phosphate deposits all over the world, Port Safaga has become a major tourist hotspot on the Red Sea! And a world famous water sports destination; in 1993 it even hosted the World Red Sea Windsurfing Championships; kite and windsurfing in Safaga is truly something special! Safaga enjoys a pleasant climate all year round, but the best time to visit Safaga is definitely February to June and September to November, when temperatures are between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius. Divers will also be tempted during the hotter summer months when water temperatures reach peaks of around 28 degrees Celsius.

People from all over the world come to Safaga to enjoy the sun, the sea and the exciting water sports activities, which include diving at Abu Kafan Reef, Panorama Reef, Ras Umm Hesiwa and Sharm El-Naga, but they also come for the healing properties of this Red Sea paradise destination.

The black sand beaches, the clean and healthy climate of the city and the highly saline waters of the Red Sea make Safaga a perfect holiday destination for people suffering from diseases such as psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis. Safaga is considered one of the best places in the world to cure psoriasis. Book a wellness holiday at Menaville Resort & Spa in Safaga and experience the healing benefits of the city’s environment.
