Hurghada's Dolphin Kingdom: Sha'ab El Erg Private Snorkel Adventure
Overview
Experience a private full-day tour to Dolphin House (Sha'ab El Erg) from Hurghada.
The oldest known carved funerary monument, the Stele of King Djet, demonstrates ancient Egypt's enduring artistry. While our private snorkel adventure won't take you to that specific artifact, it offers a different kind of ancient wonder: the Red Sea's vibrant ecosystem.
From Hurghada, your dedicated boat and crew will lead you to Sha'ab El Erg, known affectionately as 'Dolphin House.' This private experience focuses on respectful, ethical encounters with wild dolphins in their natural environment. Beyond dolphin spotting, your expert guide will reveal prime snorkeling locations within colorful coral gardens. A delicious lunch will be served onboard, allowing you to relax and enjoy the Red Sea's serene beauty.
