Overview

Drive your own quad bike across the Sahara, camel ride and Bedouin tea.

Hurghada sits on one of the most spectacular coral coastlines on the planet — over 200 km of fringing reef, more than 1,200 fish species and water temperatures that stay swim-friendly nearly year round.

Whether you're snorkelling Orange Bay's glass-clear lagoons, drift-diving with the Giftun reefs or quad-biking the eastern Sahara at sunset, every excursion is designed for travellers who want adventure without sacrificing comfort.

Hotel pick-up, modern boats, English-speaking guides and small groups are standard on every EGT Luxury Travel trip — so all you need to do is show up, relax and enjoy the Red Sea.

Before you book

A few practical things to have ready. Nothing complicated — but a smoother day starts here.

Bring a passport copy or valid ID
Wear comfortable walking shoes
Sun protection: hat, sunglasses, sunscreen
A refillable water bottle
Small cash in EGP or EUR for optional extras
A camera or phone with plenty of storage

Travel tips

Use only reef-safe (oxybenzone-free) sunscreen — it's required by Egyptian marine park regulations.
Sea conditions on the boats are gentle, but mild seasickness pills can help on choppy winter days.
Marine park fees (around €8) are sometimes paid in cash at the port — your guide will advise.
Don't touch the reef or wildlife; admire from a distance and let the fish come to you.

Good to know

Vegetarian, vegan and halal lunch options available on request — let us know when booking.
Children under 5 usually travel free; ages 5–11 enjoy a 30% discount.

What to expect

Sun-warmed decks, glass-clear lagoons and the quiet thrill of slipping into a coral garden teeming with fish.

Boat-based day with 2–3 snorkel stops, a buffet lunch onboard and time to relax on white sandbanks.
