Take a Tranquil Sea Tour of the Red Sea

Ever gone on a sea tour?! Go on an unforgettable sailing experience in the Red Sea with Alandalus Marina. Everything that could come to your mind is provided in a blink of an eye, whether it be food, drinks, snacks, or extra fun!

Bring your friends or family along, and explore the beauty, serenity, and refreshing saline atmosphere of the Red Sea!

Is The Red Sea … Red?!


Hmm … Not quite. The Red Sea’s name is a direct translation of its ancient Greek name, Erythra Thalassa. However, only European languages include any mention of “red.” In Hebrew it is called Yam Suph, or Sea of Reeds, most likely due to the reeds of the Gulf of Suez, and in Egypt, it is called “Green Space.”

 

The Red Sea is the saltiest sea of all the seas that connect to the ocean without even one river meets the sea.

 

A popular hypothesis about the origins of the Red Sea’s name is that it contains a cyanobacteria called Trichodesmium erythraeum, which turns the normally blue-green water a reddish-brown.


Some Amazing Facts About The Red Sea …


A Vital Trade Route

This body of water has been used for commerce since ancient Egyptian times. After the 1869 opening of the Suez Canal, cutting through Egypt to link the Red Sea with the Mediterranean, transport between Europe and Asia became significantly easier. Today this passage remains one of the world’s most important trade routes.

 

Year-Round Sunshine


The Red Sea is warm enough to visit throughout the year, with an average water temperature of 66°F, even in December and January. This goes up to an 84°F average in the summer months, making the sea’s shallow parts as warm as bathwater.


Filled with health benefits


The Red Sea is approximately 35% saltier than most other seas, which gives it unique health benefits. The saline concentration is believed to improve blood circulation.

The sandy beaches located near the Radisson Blu Hotel, Jeddah Corniche, also contain trace minerals and black sand, which can be used to treat skin inflammations, rheumatism, and arthritis.

Bonus Fact: Given the high salt concentration in the Red Sea, it’s believed that one could stay afloat with no additional apparatus!

Qamra Night – A Place Where Lie Inspiration & Peace

Prepare your gear & get ready for a splendid hiking adventure involving many wondrous activities at Qamra Night. Whether you’re into sandboarding, horse riding, aim & shooting, you will certainly find something that will make your day. We will start by giving you an overview of what you’re about to enjoy.

A Dreamy & Peaceful Night With Natural Illumination …


Have you ever been hit with the instant realization that this circle up in the night sky is actually a sphere, a mini planet circling its way around our globe!

It isn’t a movie or 4k video. It’s happening now. It’s the same moon that poets and philosophers and scientists looked at for hundreds if not thousands of years. It possesses the same magic that is provided to them, yet shining on us all with generosity & grace.


Sandboard Your Stresses Away or Let The Horses Lead Them Astray …

Sandboarding is a sport similar to snowboarding, only instead of descending the snow is down dunes or sandhills. It’s a sport that one can’t say that lived life if they haven’t tried it.

It is very much related to snowboarding not only because of the apparent similarity but because, in fact, both will leave you blowing adrenaline & pumping heart! All it no worries about getting injured, as you will be supervised by a team of experts.

If you’re looking for a different kind of fun, then horseback riding is the way to go, as nothing else compares to. It isn’t like going for an exciting ride at an amusement park because you won’t have control over the park ride, the ride has no ability to formulate an opinion and even if it did have, you wouldn’t be able to act on it.

This one is a whole-different ride, the biggest buzz of all is galloping. You feel like you’re flying, and as your horse is going full pelt, you are also not 100% in control… But no need to fret, as you will be taught all skills & precautionary measures needed.

What are you waiting for? Book yourself a sweet Qamra Night
