Best spots for snorkeling with fish near the shore in Hurghada
Based on 2 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 7 days ago
TL;DR
The best shore snorkeling with fish near Hurghada is at Zahaby beach (select hotels) and at the 'sunken columns' in Sahl Hasheesh. Makadi Bay's Labranda / Jazz Palmareva has a gentle-entry lagoon but very few fish.
What the community said
The Labranda hotel in Makadi Bay (now rebranded as Jazz Palmareva) has a lagoon with a very gentle, gradual entry — great for families and beginners. However, fish are rarely spotted there.
