The boat eases out of Hurghada’s morning harbor and the reef-studded shallows of the Red Sea open like a map of color beneath you. Salt and sun sharpen the air; dolphins often ride the bow waves, cutting through water with the casual confidence of long-time locals. After a short search you’ll stop to watch them from the boat and, if conditions and regulations allow, slip into clear water to swim nearby.
