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 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.

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).
