Egypt 'a top autumn sun destination'
The sea coast in the Sinai region of Egypt has been named as one of the best places to head to for some sunshine this autumn.
Writing for the Guardian, Nicola Iseard put the resort at number five in her top ten list, noting that it has a "chilled backpacker vibe and is renowned for its diving".
Adventure travellers who want to explore the underwater world of the Red Sea will find that there are many beautiful reefs in Dahab, as well as some unusual underwater features, such as the Blue Hole and the Canyon.
The latter is a crack in the reef that experienced divers can enter and follow along, exiting through the reef wall on to a spectacular drop-off.
She added that people who want to spend a few days out of the water will be able to visit inland sights on daytrips, including the Coloured Canyon, which boasts "dramatic rock formations" and St Catherine's Monastery at the foot of Mount Sinai.
