WHAT TO SEE AND DO
Port Sudan is a quiet town along the Red Sea where
you can relax having a look at the fish market, walk-
ing by the promenade and enjoying its cafes and the
swimming pool, observing the huge ships’ activity in
the port…
Diving and snorkeling
The area of Port Sudan offers some wonderful spots
to dive with a wide diversity of coral reefs and a
rich marine life. In fact, the Red Sea is famous for
its plants and animals, alike the Indian Ocean, but
some of them are exclusively found in the Red Sea.
Dolphins, barracuda, tarpon, giant herring, salmon
herring or milkfish, soldier fish, goggle eye and
rock cod can be easily observed when diving
around Port Sudan. There are also more than 320
species of sharks, including the tiger and hammer
sharks. But shark attacks are very rare and they
wouldn’t attack you unless you provoke them. The
Red Sea also offers a nice variety of whale spe-
cies, including the pilot whale, giant blue whale or
the killer whale.
Some nice spots are worth seeing, like Shab Sua-
di, the “Blue Bell” ship still loaded with Japanese
cars, Shab Rumi and the Cousteau’s Precontinent
II station, Sanganeb reef, Wingate reef, Abington
or Angarosh…
Just outside Port Sudan, the sunken ship Umbria is
among the most beautiful sites to dive and take un-
derwater pictures in the world. The boat is well con-
served and easy to access, with a good visibility.
However, one of the only ways to admire the coral
reefs is to hire a boat. Hotels offer various kinds of
excursions.
