Day Trips from Sahl Hasheesh
Sahl Hasheesh is an upscale bay between Hurghada and Makadi, with a seafront promenade, an 'old town' plaza and a well-known sunken-city dive site. Its central position makes it one of the easiest places to take excursions from.
Boat trips usually start from marinas in Hurghada, a short drive north; desert safaris begin even closer, as the desert tracks start just inland from the bay.

Local tips for Sahl Hasheesh guests
Guests at Sahl Hasheesh's higher-end resorts often choose calmer experiences like Mahmya Island or a private Luxor day trip.
The bay itself is great for snorkeling; for something different, try a stargazing safari under dark desert skies.
