The speedboat cleaves a bright ribbon across the Red Sea and the shoreline of Hurghada slides aft — low hotels, fishing boats, and bleach-white beaches. Ahead, the water goes a shade deeper, and the captain eases to look for arcing backs and the telltale circling of dolphins. When they appear, their movement feels deliberate, as if the sea itself is presenting a show: pods surf the bow wake, curious juveniles linger near shadowed reefs, and the air tastes faintly of salt and diesel.
