Makadi Bay is undoubtedly one of the best places for snorkeling in Egypt and is the number one recommendation if you are looking for the clearest waters and most beautiful coral reefs near Hurghada.
There, you will get some easy and good snorkeling straight off the beach, so you don’t need to take boat trips unless you want to explore other snorkel spots. The health and variety of the corals is excellent. The most vibrant section is the bay’s North Reef (in front of Grand Makadi Hotel, with beach and jetty access), but the South Reef is also nice (accessible from the Stella Beach Resort through a wooden jetty).
With year-round excellent visibility and calm, warm waters, snorkeling in Makadi Bay allows visitors to observe the Red Sea’s diverse underwater world. The condition and variety of corals and species that can be seen in the area is comparable with the marine life of the country’s marine reserves, so make sure to bring a waterproof snorkeling camera with you to capture this exceptional beauty.
