Red Sea

Stayed in the Hilton for 2 weeks in Hurghada, this hotel is right on the beach, so you can have your breakfast then wander out the door into thr Red Sea.

We went on about 3 boat trips from here, one to a beach somewhere with straw umbrellas and snorkelling equipment all laid out. This was the hottest place i'd ever been, the sealife was amazing thoughm it took my breath away, there is a lot of tour boats come here, but the beach is plenty big enough for everyone, and the sea doesn't get crowded. A very enjoyable, yet tiring excursion!

sealife again was amazing, saw blue spotted rays, lionfish, squid, clownfish

The boat trip just went out from the pier to do some snorkelling on one of the many reefs, unfortunately once we got there the sea was very rough, boat rocking all over the place, little exciting little scary... no snorkelling done as sea was too rough to enter. We did move onto a more shelterd reef though for a snorkel, the sea was still rough but swimmable, saw some amazing pipefish and swallowed a lot of seawater down my snorkel.

The next 2 trips out were diving after doing a morning in the pool we went out to some more reefs and did a 12ft dive, sealife again was amazing, saw blue spotted rays, lionfish, squid, clownfish and so much more. This is purely the best experience of my life, breathtaking!
