hurghada
Originally a fishing village, Hurghada has long since morphed into today’s dense band of resorts and hotels that marches along the coastline for more than 20km. It is a great destination for combining a diving holiday with the Nile Valley sites. Further offshore there is still superb diving aplenty; local NGOs are helping the town clean up its act, and the southern resort area and Sigala's sparklingly modern marina have brought back some of Hurghada's sheen.

Itinerary
Cruise, Island & Snorkeling
Start by sailing over the Red Sea’s turquoise waters towards the island of Mahmya, located in the protected Giftun Island National Park near Hurghada. Enjoy the warmth of the sun on your back as you sail over, then disembark to pick up your snorkelling gear and recline under the thatched sunshades.
There’s also an optional cruise out to a coral reef for 45-minutes of snorkelling. After a buffet lunch that includes a special kids’ menu for the little ones, there’s more time to unwind, or take a dip in the water. Then, it’s back to Hurghada, and if you’re lucky, you’ll see a glorious Egyptian sunset on the Red Sea.
Departure & Return
We will pick you up and drop you off anywhere within Hurghada Hotels. You can choose the exact location during the booking process. If it’s your hotel, your guide will be waiting for you at the hotel-lobby 10 minutes before departure.
