Operated by egypt white desert · Hurghada, Red Sea Governorate
A flat-bottomed boat parts the glassy Red Sea and, after about 45 minutes, drops anchor off Orange Bay — a low, sunbaked strip of sand and shallow water that reflects the sky like polished amber. Guests step onto a beach with simple seats and tables, or splash into warm shallows to drift among small coral outcrops. From the deck, the water dares you inward; beneath the surface, colorful parrotfish and swaying coral tell an older story.

The islands off Hurghada lie along historical Red Sea trade and fishing routes; modern tourism has repurposed these waters for day trips while local crews retain seafaring skills.
Coral reefs here are sensitive to contact and sunscreen chemicals — use reef‑safe products, avoid touching marine life, and pack out all trash to minimize impact.
