Morning light cuts across Hurghada’s marina as the boat slips into the open Red Sea, engines low and the horizon widening into cobalt and reef. The day unfolds in two clear chapters: snorkeling over shallow coral gardens where parrotfish and striped wrasse thread through staghorn, then a slow, sun-washed stop at Paradise Island for sand, shade and a salty breeze that pushes you toward the water.
