Are there corals?
Tell me, please, is there a coral reef in the hotel to swim with a mask and fins for an hour, for example?

of course, Hurghada is not Sharm, there are no reefs here. Near the shore you can meet a few fish and hedgehogs, but if you sail away 300-500 meters away (for example, on a catamaran), then there are a lot of small remnants of coral and it can be interesting to watch. I repeat, there is no comparison with Sharm, but my wife and I rented a mask with a snorkel and for a long time, holding on to the edge of the catamaran, studied the marine fauna. The depth to the reefs is small, in some places less than a meter, so you can not be afraid of marine reptiles, although you need to be careful not to step on a sea urchin

next to the beach 5 * there is a beach of Steigen 4 *. There, literally 5 meters from the shore, there is a cliff with a depth of 2-2.5 meters, and already there many people dive with a mask. There they saw fish of many species, one small stingray, squid and even a sea snake. In general, for people who are not very good swimmers or are afraid of the mass of living creatures in the sea, Hurghada is much calmer. Here you will hardly find such a variety of marine reptiles and predators. Sharks almost never happen here, which cannot be said about Sharma. If you want to see a huge coral reef, there is a diving center on site, 2 of your own yachts, you can swim on the reef and see it even with a mask, even with scuba gear. Snorkeling costs, I don’t remember exactly, 30-40 euros, and diving is more expensive. You can go to the hotel website, there in Russian there are all the prices for water activities in the hotel

Ruslan, thanks for your reply. Yes, of course, Hurghada is not Sharm, but in the light of last year's sharks, somehow I don’t want to go to Sharm. That's why I'm trying to look for a good hotel in Hurghada, but with "animal".

In Hurghada, the underwater world takes a significant break from Sharm, but is much safer. And if you want to see a beautiful reef and a 5 * Steigen level hotel in Hurghada, I would recommend the Oberoi Hasheesh hotel. Decent hotel, quite luxurious. True, there is almost no entrance to the sea, but there is a Pier, from which you can sail to a beautiful reef. Well, if you just want to watch single corals and small flocks of fish, hedgehogs and stars, there is enough of this stuff in Steigen

A good hotel with a decent reef - Fort Arabesque in Makadi or a little more modest - Makadi Palace.

In terms of level, Sheraton Soma Bay is closer to Steigen.
Reef is decent. However, to go about 40 minutes from Hurghada. Transfer
it is often individual, or you can order a limousine service from the hotel by letter.

I think you can look closer. I would recommend Arabia Azur. Soma Bay and Makadi are far away

The level of Arabia 4 * and Steigen 5 * are compared with difficulty. If the TC is interested in corals near one of the best fives of Hurghada, then he should be offered a hotel approximately equal in level?

It's not about that. The author is already on his way to Steigen, only there are no real corals there. Here are the people who offer options for where to go to corals
