The boat slips away from Hurghada’s marina at first light, the Red Sea flattening into a sheet of glass that pushes at the hull as if urging you forward. By mid-morning the island’s white sand appears against a band of turquoise; the air smells faintly of salt and diesel, gulls arguing over breakfast.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The Red Sea’s corals are fragile—use reef-safe sunscreen and reapply before entering the water to protect marine life.
Wear a well-fitting mask
Even though equipment is provided, a personal mask that seals well makes snorkeling more comfortable and keeps water out.
Secure seasickness remedies
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication before boarding—open-sea crossings can be choppy at times.
Protect valuables from sand and salt
Use a small dry bag or waterproof phone case; island sand is fine and saltwater quickly corrodes gear.

Protects skin and reefs in strong sunlight while swimming.
