Safety notes
- Red Sea reef comes close to the surface and is sharp; wear something on your feet and do not stand on coral.
- Currents run strongly along the reef edge and many beaches have no lifeguard. Swim where other people are.
- Away from private resort beaches, modest swimwear is expected and photographing other beachgoers is not acceptable.
