I can advise from my belfry: I would choose Tunisia. as it is hotter in Egypt now and I have already been there. And I didn't like Egypt for food. although I was in a very good hotel. I mean that Egyptian cuisine is not for me - I do not use spices in food.

Egypt confuses me because of the corals, you don’t normally swim, but won’t it be boring in Tunisia?

Yes, people go to Egypt precisely because of the coral reefs. But here "you can't swim normally." There are pools for "normal" swimming!

the red sea is amazing. but when I swam with a mask, it frightened me, to put it mildly - and reefs, to which there is no end and end, and fish, especially large ones and, as luck would have it, floating near the pontoon stairs ...
+ poisonous corals

And I can swim on the reefs for an hour and not get bored. Well, if curious living creatures are still spinning around you, want to get to know each other, then it’s generally a buzz. But in general, as they say, who loves sweets. and who is a pig cartilage. So I can’t compare the Red Sea candy in this respect with either Turkey or Tunisia.

If a person wants the usual swimming-swimming - then, yes, Tunisia (it was in early July). One thing bothered me a little - shallow water .. you go, you go, and everything is knee-deep.

Alex, with all due respect to the efficiency of your advice... But people don't walk in formation, and if they "get out" of the general concept of "what a great vacation is" - it doesn't mean that they are stupid or stupid.
Yes, and I did not go to Egypt "precisely for the sake of coral reefs" (c). If I were tempted, of course, I could say that I went for them INCLUDING, but not EXCLUSIVELY - Egypt is full of other charms and interesting things. For that matter, but to go ON THE SEA-- what kind of "normal" swimming IN THE POOL can be?
Why are you so categorical?

Oksana! I always respect people's opinions and I'm not as categorical as you think. Well, how to answer if two completely different countries are compared with completely different seas, with completely different even summer temperatures? And this means that a person is too lazy to look at reviews about Egypt here and about Tunisia. and then it’s not clear to ask here. You spoke very well about Luxor, in great detail, I could also write a page about the advantages of Egypt here, but these are questions and answers and only 1200 characters. And there are lagoons with a sandy bottom in Hurghada hotels and there is a reef nearby (it’s convenient to swim normally and swim underwater in corals), and not all corals are poisonous. And I never advised walking in formation, on the contrary, I am an avid supporter of independent tourism. And I have seen quite a lot of historical monuments in different countries, but for me Egypt - this is primarily the Red Sea with its underwater world.
and then archeology, ethnography, desert racing, etc. In this I am categorical !!!

Wow, what a monologue))))))))) Convincingly!! But ... if the author of the question stubbornly wants the sea to swim, and not see corals, his personal desires will "twist" the opinion that Egypt is, first of all, the Red Sea. This is what was discussed when I wrote about the "opinion in formation". However, I won’t be surprised if I was misunderstood - after all, without hearing intonation, I can also understand you incorrectly, this is the Internet.
On the issue. I really understand the author, I tried diving - I TRIED it. All. I drank water, children's fear of water was not overcome. The issue of diving is closed for me for the next hundred years. The body began to seek compensation)) And Egypt opened up to me with other sides. And I'll look at the underwater world on Sinbad))) Question: am I (or margarita110589) the wrong tourist? No. Summary - everyone chooses according to their own circumstances. Margarita110589's response showed that I'm not the only one with my quirky tastes in Egypt.

Oksana! After all, have you been scuba diving (diving) or
with a mask (snorkeling, it’s called). Still, I recommend overcoming fear and trying again, but under the supervision of a knowledgeable person. My wife never swam with a mask. In order to convince her to see the beauty of the underwater world, I had to first ride her on "Sinbade", and then in the shallows a little, like a small child, to teach to put your head under the water, then she liked it so much that she pulled it out of the water. And now, if you are going to Hurghada, take a ticket to King Tut4 *, although he fashionable, but there is a very comfortable shallow sandy lagoon, where the maximum is waist-deep, and a coral reef, where you can dive without fear of depth. And most importantly, let someone teach you how to dive properly. And then Sharm el-Naga-coral reserve, that's where the fairy tale is with fearless fish of all kinds and colors, I'm not talking about the corals themselves.
But I stop, I can talk about it endlessly.

With scuba.
Yes, I REALLY want to. But I just have uncontrollable panic in front of deep water, and not only-- the diving instructor simply dragged me under water at a depth of one and a half meters, since I generally felt helpless-- and immediately drank water-- PANIC (although I'm not an alarmist- - 200 / per hour on a motorcycle along the track with a pilot - no panic at all ...), pulling out of the hands of the instructor, he reacted quickly, immediately inflated his life jacket. I can't breathe through my mouth. Here's your water sign - Cancer. Water is not for me. Therefore, returning to our sheep, it is good that Egypt pleased me with at least something else.
Thank you, Alex :) I see that a calm constructive effect affects me more than criticism)))))) I'm still listening))))))

Once again, in shallow water (even knee-deep) with a mask
learn how to breathe into a tube. Let a reliable person stand nearby, it’s even possible in the pool. And then calmly lie on the water (you want to in the Red Sea, you can’t drown, the water pushes you out) and slowly swim. So I trained my wife, for the third time she swam , carried away by the underwater world, that she had to catch up and return to the shore. You can do this even without fins, and you will really like Sharm el-Naga, there the reef begins from the shore right from the knee-deep depth, the fish will swim up to your waist, begging And when you get comfortable in the water, then you can go deeper. Considering that with a mask you will be under the surface of the water so that the hair on the surface is visible, there is nothing to be afraid of.

And you yourself understand, a completely different feeling than in "Sinbad", when the fish are around you, and you "persuade" them so that they do not interfere with swimming and push them away with your hands. Or when you see that a small hairdresser fish cleans large fish from parasites, almost without getting into their mouths, and they, it seems, almost squint with pleasure. You won’t see this on Sinbad! Overpower yourself!

when, ceteris paribus (or requirements)
Egypt on one side of the scale and Tunisia on the other
then without hesitation would choose Egypt
BUT! I am a fan of the Red Sea, its underwater world
and this explains my choice in favor of Egypt
as for the author of the question, then you decide
what exactly do you expect from the rest, then it will be easier for you to understand where to go
