More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off a shaded pier into warm, glass-calm water and the boat slips free — the Red Sea opens ahead like a living map. Within an hour the hull rocks gently and a pair of dolphins appears, arcing through sunlit swells as if inviting you into their world. The sea here is assertive and curious; currents nudge the boat, corals hold their color under the surface, and the guides point out a spinning dolphin cutting the water.
