Protect your skin
Use reef-safe sunscreen liberally and reapply after swimming—shade is limited on many hotel beaches.
Bring swim shoes
Rocky entries and small pebbles are common; water shoes make entering and exiting more comfortable.
Check transfer timing
Expect roughly 1.5–2 hours each way from central Cairo depending on traffic—plan rest stops and pick-up windows accordingly.
Confirm snorkeling gear
If you want to snorkel, verify availability of masks and fins ahead of time or bring your own for a better fit.
