Overview

The glass boat is the simplest and quickest way to see Hurghada's coral. The bottom of the boat is made of large glass panels and you sit directly in front of them while the boat passes over selected shallow reef areas.

The trip is short — around two hours including transfers — which makes it ideal for small children, older guests, and anyone who wants a sea activity that only takes half a day. No equipment and no swimwear required.

The reefs close to shore are not as rich as the ones further out, but there are plenty of fish, visibility is good on most days, and children in particular love it.
