The boat slips free from Hurghada's concrete piers and the Red Sea opens like a bright invitation. Salted winds push the craft toward Orange Bay on Giftun Island, where turquoise water unrolls over pale sand and coral gardens sit just below the surface. On arrival, the beach holds a wide, sandy bench to stretch out on, while the reef beyond glitters with parrotfish and wrasse moving through fingers of coral.
