The engine cuts a clean white line across the Red Sea as the shore of Hurghada recedes and the air sharpens with salt and sunlight. Within 45 minutes the speedboat slows over a shallow reef and curved dorsal fins slice the surface — inquisitive wild dolphins weaving around the hull. For two hours the group slips into warm, clear water to watch them move freely, the dolphins dictating when the encounter starts and ends.
