Why this trip
The Red Sea has a peculiarity off Hurghada: corals and colourful fish often begin just a few metres from the shore. For children who like snorkelling, it is an aquarium without glass. From October to April the temperatures are pleasant, and the sea stays warm. Mahmya Island is a destination for boat trips, with a beach and shallow water where families spend a day.
Children from primary school age can take a trial course at many of the city's diving schools, so inform yourself precisely about age limits and safety. If you prefer to stay on the surface, use mask, snorkel and a life jacket. When choosing the resort, what counts is shallow beach access, a pool with a children's area and shade. The Rixos Premium Magawish Suites & Villas offers suites and therefore more space for the whole family.
El Gouna, Sharm El Sheikh and Dahab are the neighbours of the region. The flight time is around 4 to 4.5 hours. For questions on rhythm and travel time, Swiss Vibes helps in a video call.
