Snorkeling in Hurghada
Snorkeling Hurghada in the Red Sea gives the visitor many underwater sites. Hurghada snorkelling offers many reef sites, both near and far from shore, from little islands to submerged pinnacles. Once a tiny fishing village, Hurghada has transformed into a bustling tourist metropolis with huge beachside hotels and an even more enormous roster of potential excursions.
Marine Life in Hurghada
A snorkel trip to Hurghada puts you face to face with the Red Sea Riviera’s extraordinary marine life in almost impossibly clear waters. Egypt snorkel spots are world-famous for visibility, reaching up to 70 meters in some places. The country’s sea coast and islands differ dramatically from its underwater landscape, which explodes in diversity and abundance of colourful creatures and topography. The Hurghada reefs are typically shallow and sloping, making them suitable for beginner snorkelers. All a snorkeler’s favourite reef inhabitants can be found in Hurghada waters – parrotfish, surgeonfish, butterflyfish, anemonefish, pufferfish, sweetlips, colourful wrasses, morays, stingrays, and turtles. As a bonus, seeing dolphins on Hurghada boat trips between the shore and your snorkel sites is common.
Best Snorkel Sites in Hurghada
Giftun Islands, with Paradise Beach and Orange Bay, especially Mahmya Beach, is one of the most-visited snorkel sites in Hurghada. This sea island lies a 45-minute boat ride from the Egyptian coast. The clear waters around Giftun hold multiple reefs for snorkelling, where calm conditions and easy access allow everyone to enjoy the plentiful fish and colourful corals with dolphin-frequented. Sunbathing on the beach makes a very engaging complementary activity for many visitors.
A snorkel excursion in Hurghada may also include Abu Ramada Island and the Magawish Islands, where divers and snorkelers can find morays, nudibranchs, rays, barracudas and turtles. There are multiple reefs to visit, some areas with excellent coral and a chance at notable sightings like Napoleon Wrasse.
Hurghada Nearby Snorkelling Sites
The bays along the coastline south of Hurghada City are indisputably the best spots for snorkelling in Hurghada’s mainland area. Makadi Bay stands out among these bays for its coral reefs and is easily accessible from Hurghada. The area boasts an impressive array of marine life, including pink, purple, and blue stubby branching corals (Pocillopora sp.), massive corals, swaying soft corals, and a rainbow of reef fish. Notably, Makadi’s clear waters teem with turtles, rays, puffers, barracuda, octopus, and morays.
Soma Bay is another area with comprehensive offerings for snorkelers; the colourful corals in Soma also host the full range of fish life, including gatherings of Raccoon Butterflyfish with their black eye patches, Blue-spotted Stingrays, sweetlips, and multi-patterned wrasses. Just offshore, Soma Bay also holds a couple of coral pinnacles that divers and snorkelers can enjoy.
Sahl Hasheesh Bay has a lagoon filled with reef creatures and coral, including lionfish and octopus. Tours to this area often include dolphin-watching – and may even give you a chance to safely and cautiously jump in the water with these fantastic animals.
What is the best time for snorkelling in Hurghada?
Snorkelling in Hurghada is a year-round activity in Egypt. The main seasonal change is in water temperature, which can drop to 21 Celsius during winter and rise to 30 Celsius in the summer. As a snorkeler, you’ll mostly be in the sun-warmed surface layer of the ocean. If you’re worried about getting cold, it’s wise to pack a wetsuit for your vacation. You can easily buy or rent one in Egypt, and it’s less cumbersome than bringing your own.
Some recommend avoiding the hottest time of year in July and August. If you do not like to sweat or are prone to heat exhaustion, May and June during Springtime or September through November during Autumn are the best seasons to visit.

View this product →Moses Mountain Trip Sharm El Sheikh ($0,00 – $30,00)
reviewed by Imtiaz AhmedI recently had an incredible adventure visiting Mount Sinai. During my trip, I saw many historical sites such as the place of the golden calf, Moses Well, burning bush, and St. Catherine Monastery. Hiking up Moses Mountain was quite a challenge as it stands at 2250m above sea level and requires starting the ascent at night. However, the African night sky was breathtaking, making the journey even more magical. The final 752 steps were the most difficult, but the sunrise at the top of the mountain made it all worthwhile. It was indeed an unforgettable experience.

Petra Excursion Sharm El Sheikh ( $235,00)
reviewed by EmanIt was a long day, lasting for 26 hours, but the visit was definitely worth it. The guide in Jordan was excellent, and the program was designed to provide the maximum viewing experience. The lunch provided was also excellent. However, the Egyptian side was not well-organized, and we had to wait an hour on the road after hotel pickups for a disorganized guide. The ferry terminal was chaotic with security and passport checks, insufficient seating for everyone and unpleasant toilets. Nevertheless, the Jordan side of the trip was very enjoyable and will remain in our memories forever.

Monastery of Saint Catherine Trip Sharm El Sheikh ( $30,00)
reviewed by SubhanI was fascinated by the Burning Bush, which turned out to be a massive tree associated with Moses. Additionally, there were some stunning architectural structures to admire. The displays of ancient texts and icons were meticulously documented and very captivating. I had a great experience at this place and wish we had more time to explore fully.
The mountains in Sinai are genuinely breathtaking. Along the coast, they're rugged and rocky with scarce vegetation. But if you venture to areas with more greenery and water, you'll come across authentic Bedouin villages. These are genuine Bedouins who live off the land, with camels and goats and improvised housing mixed with cinderblock homes provided by the government. It's not a Hollywood set but a genuine way of life.

Cairo Trip by Plane Sharm El Sheikh ( $200,00)
reviewed by SaniaI must say that my experience was nothing short of amazing, and the package undoubtedly offered exceptional value for its price. It is worth mentioning that the camel ride to the other side of the pyramids and the River Nile trip were not included in the package, but they were absolutely worth the additional expense. Our guide, Surwat, was outstanding and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort throughout the day.
