Is the Red Sea in Egypt good for snorkeling and budget travel?

Travel

Hi everyone,

I’m planning a backpacking trip and I’m considering Egypt, especially the Red Sea area (Sharm El Sheikh, Dahab, Marsa Alam).

I’m mainly interested in snorkeling, beaches and budget-friendly activities.

Is the Red Sea a good choice for backpackers?

Which place would you recommend more: Sharm, Dahab, or Marsa Alam?

Any tips about costs, transport, or places to stay would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance!
