See the Red Sea's coral reefs without getting wet

The semi-submarine is a specially built boat with a lower deck sitting below the waterline, lined with large viewing windows. After boarding at Hurghada's marina, the boat cruises out over several nearby reef areas while you sit comfortably in the air-conditioned lower cabin, watching coral formations, reef fish, and sometimes rays or turtles pass by just outside the glass.

Because no swimming is required, this trip works well for young children, older travelers, or anyone who wants to experience the Red Sea's marine life without getting in the water. The upper deck offers open-air seating and views of the coastline for those who want fresh air between viewing sessions.

Trips typically last around two hours and include narration from the crew pointing out notable coral formations and marine species as you pass over them.

Notes

Travel Documents: Before you fly, ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates. Please have your hotel bookings and flight tickets printed and ready, and keep digital copies saved on your phone for easy access. Remember to check the latest visa requirements for your nationality before departure.

Tipping (Baksheesh): Tipping is an ingrained part of Egyptian culture. It is customary to offer a small tip to drivers, guides, and cruise staff for their services. Having some small denominations of local currency handy will make this much easier for you.

Photography: You are welcome to take photos at most sites. However, please note that some museums or specific tombs may restrict flash photography to preserve the ancient colors and artifacts. Always check with your guide if you aren't sure.

Smart Packing: Pack light, breathable clothing for the desert heat, but keep a light jacket or sweater handy for cooler evenings and air-conditioned spaces. Don’t forget comfortable walking shoes, a high-SPF sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to stay protected while exploring ancient sites.

The upper deck is worth a few minutes even for non-swimmers — it's the only point in the trip with open air and an unobstructed view of the Hurghada coastline.

Health & Safety: Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of bottled water, which is included in your excursions. It’s always smart to carry a small personal first-aid kit with basic items like pain relievers or stomach remedies. Keep our emergency contact details saved in your phone so you can reach us at any time if you need assistance.

Essential Trip Tips To ensure your adventure through Egypt is as seamless and enjoyable as possible, please take a moment to review these helpful tips:

Money & Budget: While major cards are accepted in hotels and larger shops, it is always a good idea to carry some Egyptian Pounds in cash for small purchases, local markets, and tipping. ATM machines are widely available, but having a little cash on hand makes life much easier when you’re out and about.

Dress Code: Egypt is a culturally conservative country. When visiting mosques or local neighborhoods, it’s best to dress modestly—covering your shoulders and knees is appreciated. Otherwise, feel free to wear light, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen to stay cool.
