Sahl Hasheesh is a coastal town on the Red Sea, Egypt, near Hurghada. It’s primarily a resort and access point for Red Sea diving along the coast. The area hosts a number of dive centers nearby and organized boat trips head to reef sites and walls along the Red Sea. While the town itself isn’t a major dive hub, its location offers straightforward access to beginner-to-intermediate dive sites and water activities. Expect warm, clear conditions with typical Red Sea reef life just offshore, and calmic to moderate current depending on the day.
