Explore underwater caves, swim with colorful fish, and discover shipwrecks by diving into popular scuba diving locations such as Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada.

If you are, however, more of a person who longs to just stay close to the surface, then snorkeling is a good thing to do. The shallow, warm waters of the Red Sea house some of the most beautiful coral reefs and schools of tropical fish, which can easily be reached from shores or cheap boat excursions.

The Red Sea is well known for its steady winds offering excellent conditions for windsurfing. El Gouna and Hurghada are very famous windsurfing sites, where both beginners and skilled windsurfers can enjoy the ride with the winds.

Kite Surfing:

The steady winds and some of the best beaches create the perfect combination for kite surfing. The Red Sea is fantastic to go kite surfing on. Most of the waters at Ras Sudr and El Gouna are incredible for those familiar with the sport to whittle it up before you catch air and thrill to the thrill of riding waves, and those new to it to try their first jumps.

Jet skiing:

Jet skiing across the generally calm waters of the Red Sea is a unique experience. Hire a jet ski to fly across the sea while exploring the coastal areas and enjoying the incredible Egyptian coastline views.

Family-Friendly Water Activities in the Red Sea

Snorkeling Diving: This is a fantastic family game, as it will be quite easy to learn and completely do without formal training in any special skills. Children and even adults may enjoy the many colors as they swim along the vibrant coral reefs, especially in quieter areas such as Sharm El Sheikh or Hurghada.

Boat tours through Glass Bottoms: Provide an opportunity to discover the underwater world without entering the water itself, much preferred by families with used-up little children or those who want to stay dry. It gives a scenic view of the coral reefs and life down there through the boat itself.

Gentle boat rides: Take a family stroll down the Red Sea on an easy boat cruise. Simply chill at the shore, admire the beautiful scenery from the coast, and then visit several islands or beaches for a swim.

Stand-Up Paddleboarding: Stand-Up Paddleboarding is a great option for having fun with the whole family while relaxing. Really quite simple to learn, and it means that families can glide over the water, exploring the coastline at a little slower pace.

Kayak: Flying is yet another water sport for families to enjoy, where you get to paddle together in a tandem kayak or by yourselves in a single kayak across the even waters of the Red Sea. You'd have a rather nice time discovering the local coves and beaches.

Swimming: The warm, tranquil waters of the Red Sea make it an ideal haven for family swimming. In Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh, or even El Gouna, you can relax while the kids splash safely.

Beach and Sandcastle Construction Games: Because they are not exactly water sports, activities such as frisbee, volleyball, and sandcastle construction can be enjoyed by the entire family at the beautiful beaches of the Red Sea. Those can keep kids and adults happy for hours together.

Dolphin Safari: Go in for a dolphin safari with the family and watch these playful sea mammals in their natural habitat; some tours include the experience of swimming with the dolphin, which will prove unforgettable for both kids and adults.
