Sharm El Naga from Hurghada
A quiet Red Sea bay where the reef begins just beyond the sand.
Sharm El Naga is a naturally sheltered bay around 50 kilometres south of central Hurghada. Its main attraction is the coral reef reserve directly beside the beach, allowing guests to enter the water from shore instead of travelling to a snorkeling site by boat.
Spend the day moving between the turquoise water and the soft sandy beach at your own pace. A snorkeling guide and equipment are included, while palm umbrellas and the relaxed shoreline create an easy setting for swimming, sunbathing and photography.
The experience also includes lunch at the beach restaurant. Between water sessions, stroll through the landscaped gardens, look for exotic plants and trees, and visit the on-site aquarium for a closer view of local marine life. It is a balanced full-day excursion for nature lovers, families, couples and anyone seeking a calm Red Sea beach day from Hurghada.
