Experience one of the most unique Red Sea excursions with the Sindbad Submarine from Makadi Bay—the only real tourist submarine in Egypt and one of the very few operating passenger submarines in the world. Descend approximately 22 meters beneath the surface and discover the spectacular underwater world of the Red Sea through large panoramic windows, all without getting wet.
Perfect for families, children, seniors, non-swimmers, couples, and anyone who wants to explore the coral reefs without snorkeling or scuba diving, this unforgettable excursion combines comfort, safety, and breathtaking marine life.
After a convenient hotel pickup from Makadi Bay, you’ll travel to Hurghada Marina where your submarine adventure begins. During the underwater journey you’ll admire colorful coral reefs, tropical fish, butterflyfish, angelfish, clownfish, lionfish, giant groupers, stingrays, and sometimes even sea turtles gliding gracefully through the crystal-clear waters.
Unlike ordinary glass-bottom boats, the Sindbad Submarine takes you deep below the surface, offering a genuine submarine experience with climate-controlled cabins, comfortable seating, and uninterrupted underwater views from every seat.
