The Red Sea

The Red Sea sits between Africa and Asia. Most famous for its turquoise waters and the fabulous underwater world it is a perfect area for a rest and relaxation holiday and also makes a great choice for some winter sun with a flight time of under five hours and balmy temperatures in the mid-20s between November and March.

Sinai Peninsula

The triangular peninsula known as the Sinai Peninsula is bordered by the Mediterranean to the north and the Red Sea to the south and has long been in the forefront of many a battle. Today, it has some of the best hotels and infrastructure in Egypt.

Essentially the Sinai is a desert that has little evidence of much domesticity or inhabitants; the only known inhabitants are the Bedouin people, who have lived there for many years.

Clare Wiggins

My love for Asia began with living there. Based in Vietnam and then Malaysia, I also explored the surrounding regions before eventually finding my way back home via China and the Trans-Siberian railway. At Steppes Travel, I get to share that love for Asia every day, helping clients experience the places I know best as if they were locals themselves.
