The boat slips away from Hurghada’s marina and the city’s hotels shrink into a band of color; the Red Sea opens, warm and electric, and the crew calls you up on deck to scan the horizon for dolphins. Salt air pushes at your face, and the boat’s wake thumps like a steady heartbeat that carries you toward coral gardens where fish carve narrow lanes through branching colonies.
