About Red Sea Updates

Red Sea Updates is an independent English-language news and guide platform covering Egypt’s Red Sea coast — from El Gouna and Hurghada down through Sahl Hasheesh, Makadi, Soma Bay and Safaga to El Quseir and Marsa Alam.

We cover what actually matters to the people who live, work, invest and holiday here: local news and breaking updates, new openings and closures, events, business and development, travel, the marine environment, and community life.

Our aim is to be practical, fast and credible — a clear source of what’s happening on the coast, in plain English. We are not affiliated with any government body, developer or tour operator.

Tips and corrections

Much of the best local news starts with a tip. If you’ve seen something worth covering, send it to us — we keep submitter names and contact details private. If we get something wrong, we want to fix it: see our corrections policy.
