The Red Sea Coast and Eastern Desert

Sindbad Submarines

    Price: $50, children $25

    Two submarines which can take 44 people to depths of 22m in comfort. Disappointingly, however, half the time is spent getting to and from the sub's mooring offshore from the Sindbad Beach Resort in New Hurghada, and after submerging a diver swims alongside trailing bait to attract wrasses, groupers and parrotfish past the portholes. You'd do better to go on an introductory dive – but if the subs still appeal, bookings can be made at the resort ( 065/344-4688) or through the other holiday villages.
