Diving, the pool, and the private beach

  • Scuba diving with the on-site dive centre at Roots Red Sea

    Scuba Diving

    The on-site dive centre is affiliated with Pharaoh Dive Club, an Instructor Development Centre and RAID affiliate, diving the house reef at Abu Sauatir Bay and over 80 sites across 6 dive centres in the El Quseir area. A marine biology survey recorded over a third of all Red Sea fish species in the bay in a two-week period. Beyond the house reef, zodiac and hard-boat trips reach sites including The Rock, Ras Qusier and Omar Sukan, plus excursions to Elphinstone and the Salem Express wreck — expect a resident dolphin pod, extensive hard and soft coral, Napoleon wrasse, turtles and moray eels.

  • The freshwater swimming pool at Roots Red Sea

    Swimming Pool

    The idyllic sheltered pool is the perfect place to relax after a morning's diving, or to spend a quiet, peaceful day. A large surrounding patio has thatched gazebos and sun beds, and the pool bar serves drinks and ice creams between 11am and sunset. Easy-access full-width steps lead into the shallow end, and there's a separate shallow paddling pool for children.
