Is Nabq Bay in Sharm El Sheikh a good area to stay for snorkeling, including the Rixos hotels there?
Based on 2 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 14 days ago
TL;DR
Based on chat feedback, Nabq is considered a poor choice specifically for snorkeling: the Rixos hotels are there, but the area is not recommended if your main goal is reef access and easy snorkeling. If snorkeling is your priority, travelers suggest choosing another bay in Sharm El Sheikh instead of Nabq.
What the community said
The most recent reply suggests that Nabq is not viewed as a strong snorkeling area: people mentioned marine life and handling it carefully, but the district still did not come across as a top spot for easy recreational snorkeling.

An earlier message showed the same uncertainty about where to go, indirectly reinforcing that Nabq is not an obvious pick for travelers looking for a good house reef and convenient snorkeling near their hotel.

The clearest point was that all the Rixos hotels are in Nabq, but Nabq itself was described very negatively for snorkelers. In other words, the hotel brand does not compensate for the location if your main goal is reef snorkeling.
