From here some of the more southerly reefs are more easily accessible than from Hurghada, and you have the option of staying at Eco Resorts which can include camping beside the sea (or chalets if you prefer).
Some similar tours to those available from Hurghada (see above) include Swim with Dolphins in the wild, Day or overnight desert trip in Wadi El Gemal.
Full-day cruise to the Hamata Islands, stopping at several islands and reefs for snorkeling.Some islands you can walk on; on others you can only snorkel the reef because the island contains protected bird colonies and crabs.
Sharm el Luli (Marsa Hankorab) and Qulaan mangroves are full days by land; Sharm el Luli is a soft white sand beach and reef. Qulaan has a lagoon formed by the sea (at low tide, wide flats where many crabs and shellfish can be seen) and mangroves. Lunch at the Bedouin village next to the beach
Marsa Mubarak cruise: Travel by land to Port Ghalib and then Marsa Mubarak, where you have a good chance of swimming with turtles or dugongs.
