More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders

A light wind rips across the Red Sea as the boat slips from Hurghada Marina, the parachute unfurling like a bright sail against a blue sky. Within minutes you’re clipped in, the deck shrinking below as the harness takes the pull and the water drops away. The sea opens beneath you — clear, glassy, and edged with shallow coral gardens — while the wind carries you up to roughly 50 meters for a 10–13 minute flight, offering a broad view of reef lines and the distant Sinai coast.
