More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Salt and sun meet at Port Ghalib’s marina as the boat slips past polished pontoons and into a slice of the Red Sea’s turquoise. The engine settles, the horizon widens, and within thirty minutes you’re lowering fins into water that dares you to look deeper—coral gardens scatter below like overturned city blocks, fish dart with purposeful color, and the current nudges you along channels carved into ancient limestone.
