A private speedboat delivers you from Hurghada to a powdery sandbar and vibrant coral gardens in 30 minutes. Expect guided snorkeling among shallow reefs, a beach buffet lunch, and flexible half- or full-day options.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You cut across the Red Sea on a low-slung speedboat, spray tasting of salt, and the shoreline of Hurghada slides away until turquoise opens like a promise. The island’s sandbar appears first — a wide ribbon of white where breakers bow and then fall silent — and the engines idle while the crew readies masks and life jackets.
