Orange Bay

This guide to Orange Bay, off Hurghada, opens with the breath-hold pearl divers who worked these reefs a century ago, then reaches back further to sailors and traders said to have anchored here since the pharaonic period. You'll hear how, in the early two thousands, developers planted orange trees along an otherwise unnamed stretch of Giftun Island's shore, giving the bay its name. Listen for what has changed in the water since those first divers went under.
