More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the marina and the Red Sea opens like a bright, moving plain — warm wind filling the boat’s canvas and the shoreline of Hurghada shrinking into a line of hotels. The captain powers away toward Giftun Island, and the sea immediately changes tone: turquoise shallows rimmed with coral gardens that pulse with color. The water dares you to dive in; the reef pushes you forward with small, curious fish.
