Egypt’s access to three rich bodies of water- the Red Sea, the Mediterranean and the Nile, makes it one of most diverse fresh and salt water fishing destinations anywhere. Anglers from all over the world come to Lake Nasser, the top international location for Nile Perch and to take part in The Hurghada Fishing Competition at the Red Sea.
Fish worshippers will feel very much at home in Egypt. Ancient Egyptians worshipped the fish goddess Hatmehit and relied on a diet of perch, catfish (even the electric variety), carps, mullets, eels, tilapia, elephant-snout fish, tiger fish, moon fish and many others.  
Today, anglers on fish safaris in Egypt can catch some of the same species from the comfort of modern and adapted boat fleets or from traditional ones. Whether you are looking for turn-key deep sea fishing charters and safaris, or a quiet day spent shore fishing, Egypt is the ideal location for your next fishing adventure.
