The water is impossibly clear. A sea turtle glides past, unhurried, before disappearing into a curtain of parrotfish, butterflyfish, and the flicker of a lionfish half-hidden in coral. You are barely a few fin-kicks from the shore on a casual Tuesday morning in Marsa Alam. Egypt’s Red Sea coastline is one of the most extraordinary marine environments on the planet,  and much of it is within arm’s reach. The Egyptian coast alone supports around 200 species of reef-building corals, roughly four times the hard coral diversity found in the Caribbean. The waters host more than 1,000 species of fish and approximately 350 coral species, with an endemism rate of nearly 15 percent, whereas a significant share of what swims there exists nowhere else on Earth. Visibility routinely exceeds 30 meters. And crucially, many of the best reefs require no boat, no dive certification, and no special equipment beyond a mask and fins. Egypt’s coastline spans two distinct bodies of water, the Red Sea to the east and the Gulf of Aqaba in the northeast, offering a range of environments from shallow fringing reefs to dramatic underwater walls. Here are theContinue reading "Where to Snorkel Along the Red Sea in Egypt’s Underwater Eden"

Egypt announced on 6 June dispatching a shipment of humanitarian relief supplies to Mozambique, responding to devastating floods and torrential rains that have swept through several regions of the southeastern African nation, displacing residents, damaging infrastructure and disrupting essential services across at least seven cities. The Egyptian Agency for Partnership for Development, Cairo’s lead body for foreign aid and development cooperation, organized the relief consignment, which included medical supplies and basic foodstuffs intended to ease the hardship facing families uprooted by the disaster. Ambassador Mohamed Farghal, Egypt’s envoy to Maputo, formally handed over the shipment to Mozambique’s foreign minister and to the director of the country’s National Institute of Disaster Management Agency, known by its Portuguese acronym INGD. Both sides described the gesture as a reflection of deep historical and fraternal ties between the two nations. The delivery underscores Egypt’s broader effort to position itself as an active partner in African humanitarian crises, particularly as climate-driven disasters grow more frequent and severe across the continent. Cairo has increasingly framed such assistance as an expression of pan-African solidarity rather than traditional foreign aid. The Egyptian agency said the initiative affirms Egypt’sContinue reading "Egypt Sends Relief Aid to Flood-Stricken Mozambique"
