More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A low-slung charter slips away from Hurghada Marina at dawn, engines whispering as the city’s concrete edges fall behind. By mid-morning you’re anchored at the Dolphin House—clear blue stretched to the horizon, small bows rocking as dolphins weave through the boat’s wake and crews lower equipment for the first snorkel.

Wildlife
History
The Giftun islands sit on Red Sea reefs formed over millennia as corals built upward along a tectonic rift; these waters have supported fishing communities for generations and now balance tourism with conservation.
Conservation
The area is part of a protected national park—stick to marked swim zones, don’t touch coral, and use reef‑safe products to reduce impact on sensitive reef ecosystems.
