If you’re not a swimmer, you can still enjoy a Red Sea submarine tour while in Hurghada. Submarines plunge to a depth of 22 meters, and passengers can admire abundant coral reefs and fish. However, these trips don’t go very far offshore, so you can enjoy them even if you’re not a swimmer. Many Hurghada tours also include a camel ride, so you can enjoy the sand beneath your feet as well.
Nile cruises
A Hurghada Nile cruise will take you to the sights of Aswan and Luxor. Both cities are renowned for their archaeological sites. In addition to the Nile, you can visit the high dam of Aswan and the Pearl of Egypt on the island of Philae. While you are on board, you’ll also have the opportunity to ride a felucca and take in the views of the surrounding areas, including the Botanical Gardens, the Elephantine Island, and the Agha Khan Mausoleum.
Scuba diving
Scuba diving is an excellent way to see the underwater treasures in Hurghada. You can dive from the shore of the resort or choose to explore the local Red Sea sites.

Dive sites are usually scheduled locally on a day-to-day basis depending on the experience level of the guests.
