At Giftun island in Egypt
Giftun Island is a perfect place for snorkeling. It really is a paradise but I was stupid and swam too far from the others by myself, the right foot got stuck in the corals and I could not get out. I was so scared! Since then it took me a few years to go back to snorkeling again. Anyway, Giftun remains one of my favorite places in Egypt due to its beautiful beaches, white sand and hot weather.

Nice Photo! Giftun Island is amazing but what people do not know about it is that Giftun Island has 3 different beaches, called also Islands ( Mahmya, Orange, and Paradise) all under the big Giftun Island and there are many beautiful sides of the island actually from other beaches. In any concern, you may try other beaches less dangerous, as well as all of us, must save the nature and take care to watch corals while snorkeling. Thank god you fix out the problem and wish you next nice snorkeling day at Giftun Island.

Although the Coral reef in Egypt is amazing, but sometimes could be Dangerous.

Comment@ World Nomad:
Yes, you are right. It can be painful and it hurts the coral itself too.

Take care of the corals in Egypt, both for them and for you =). Especially the fire coral can hurt you a lot. And it takes sooo long time for the coral to build up again if it gets destroyed.
