A low, warm wind pushes the boat away from Hurghada’s harbor and the Red Sea opens in every direction—blue giving way to deeper blue. On this full-day sailing trip to Orange Bay (often called Paradise Island), the deck becomes a front-row seat to reef acres, sunlit sandbanks and the quicksilver flash of fish beneath the surface. The sea dares you to dive in; the boat slows, life jackets are clipped on, and the reef waits.
