Also called Port Safage, this is a beautiful coastal town and a friendly one at that. The town is linked with a cruise shuttle service traveling to Jordan and Saudi Arabia. Naturally speaking, the resort is well known for its peaceful atmosphere, its clean rivers and land, black sand dunes and therapeutic mineral springs.

Safaga has actually earned a reputation for being a therapeutic tourist attraction, because of its mineral springs, which are said to help alleviate rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis, as well as other medical research performed in the area. The black sand dune beaches are favored by sun bathers, while the sea water (unusually high in saline and minerals) is considered very beneficial for skin.
