What to bring
Sharm El Naga is a protected coral bay in the Soma Bay area, south of Hurghada. Surrounded by mountains, it stays calm in almost any weather, which makes it one of the easiest places on the coast to snorkel straight from the beach.
What to expect
You spend the day on a well-equipped beach with umbrellas, sunbeds, showers and toilets. A snorkelling guide gives you the gear and shows you the reef, which starts just a few metres from the shore: hard and soft corals, parrotfish, butterflyfish and, if you are lucky, a ray or a moray eel. Lunch is a buffet at the beach restaurant.
Who it suits
- Families with children who prefer a beach to a boat
- Anyone who gets seasick
- Guests of hotels with a sandy beach and no reef
The day is relaxed and short: you are back at your hotel by mid-afternoon.
