More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The hull cuts a bright line across the Red Sea and spray catches the sun as you push away from Hurghada’s shoreline. In an hour-long loop you’ll trade the noise of the marina for the open water — a quick speedboat run out to shallow reef, a short surface snorkel over coral gardens, then the laugh-and-hang of banana and sofa inflatable rides that slap and glide across the waves.
