You can stay close to shore near the reefs without swimming far out. Fish are visible right by the shore; people also swim near the buoys.

Even near the second beach ladder you can spot plenty of colorful fish — no need to swim far out. Great for those nervous about deep water.

The reef in Hurghada is excellent — among the best. The most scenic section is toward the Continental hotel. Food is plentiful, but local alcohol is low quality and may cause stomach issues.
