How pickup from Sahl Hasheesh works
Our driver collects you at your resort reception in Sahl Hasheesh and takes you north to Hurghada, where your captain and private speedboat are ready. The drive is short, so the pickup is only a little earlier than in Hurghada. We send the exact time on WhatsApp the evening before.
At the end of the day you are driven straight back to your resort.
Why leave the resort for a boat day
The beaches of Sahl Hasheesh are lovely, but the island lagoons are another level. Orange Bay on Giftun Island has the white sand and turquoise water you see in every Red Sea photo, and Magawish Island offers a calm lagoon with gentle reefs.
On a private speedboat you get those places with your group only, plus two snorkeling stops on living reefs along the way.
