.A snorkeling trip to Hurghada brings you face to face with the exceptional marine life of the Red Sea Riviera in almost impossibly clear waters. The visibility at Egypt's snorkeling spots is legendary, reaching up to 70 meters in some places! The country's desert coast and desert islands are vastly different from its underwater landscape, which is teeming with colorful creatures and topography. The Hurgada reefs are shallow and sloping, making them ideal for novice snorkelers. Parrotfish, surgeonfish, butterflyfish, anemonefish (Nemo), pufferfish, sweetlips, colorful wrasses, morays, stingrays, and turtles are all common reef inhabitants in Hurghada waters. As an added bonus, dolphins are frequently spotted on Hurghada boat trips between the shore and your snorkeling locations.

Best Snorkel Sites in Hurghada

Giftun Island National Park in the Paradise Islands, particularly Mahmya Beach, is one of Hurghada's most popular snorkeling destinations. This desert island is a 45-minute boat ride (with dolphins) from the Egyptian coast. The clear waters surrounding Giftun contain numerous reefs for snorkeling, where calm conditions and easy access allow everyone to enjoy the abundant fish and colorful corals. Many visitors find that sunbathing on the beach is a very appealing complementary activity.

.The best snorkeling in Hurghada's mainland area is found along the coastline south of the city. (Unfortunately, the reefs in front of Hurghada city have been destroyed by hotel construction, which is a travesty.) Makadi Bay is the snorkeling destination in Hurghada best known for its coral reefs. Makadi is home to the pink, purple, and blue stubby branching corals (Pocillopora sp.) that characterize the area's healthy reefs, as well as massive corals and swaying soft corals adorned with a rainbow of flitting reef fish. Turtles, rays, puffers, barracuda, octopus, and morays can also be found in Makadi's clear waters.

.Soma Bay is another popular snorkeling destination; the colorful corals in Soma also attract a diverse range of fish life, including Raccoon Butterflyfish with black eye patches, Blue-spotted Stingrays, sweetlips, and multi-patterned wrasses. Soma Bay also has a couple of coral pinnacles that divers and snorkelers can enjoy.

.The lagoon at Sahl Hasheesh Bay is teeming with reef creatures and coral, including lionfish and octopus. Tours to this area frequently include dophin-watching, and you may even have the opportunity to jump in the water with these amazing animals (safely and cautiously).

When is the best time to snorkel in Hurghada?

.Snorkeling in Hurghada is possible all year. The main seasonal variation in Egypt is water temperature, which can drop to 21 degrees Celsius in the winter and rise to 30 degrees Celsius in the summer. However, as a snorkeler, you will always be near the ocean's surface, which is the most warmed by the sun. If you are concerned about getting cold, bring a wetsuit with you on your vacation. After you've asked your tour operator for the most up-to-date information on water conditions, it's also very easy (and much less bulky) to buy or rent a wetsuit in Egypt. It should be noted that some people advise avoiding the hottest months of the year (July and August). If you don't like to sweat or are prone to heat exhaustion, the best months to visit are May through June (Spring) or September through November (Autumn).
