Soma Bay is a peninsula on Egypt's Red Sea coast, between Hurghada and Safaga, about 45 km south of Hurghada International Airport and about 28 km north of Safaga. The sea surrounds it, and a private road with a gated entrance leads in. Guests come for kitesurfing and windsurfing, a championship golf course, reef diving and one of the largest thalassotherapy spas in the region, and many like to add a few days out.
Because Soma Bay is a self-contained resort area, most excursions begin with a drive. Boat trips to the islands, Dolphin House and the reefs leave from the marina in Hurghada, north of the peninsula. The Nefertari cruise, the Panorama semi-submarine and Makadi Water World are in Makadi Bay, on the way. Desert safaris and the trips to Luxor and Cairo also start at your hotel. Every tour page explains where the activity takes place.
Out at sea, the choice is wide. Spend 1 hour on the white sand of Orange Bay, have lunch on Mahmya or Eden Island, or relax on Paradise, Bianca or Hula Hula, usually with two snorkeling stops. Look for wild dolphins at Dolphin House, see Orange Bay and Magawish in one day, or visit the new Ozirea Island. Divers can book a boat with 2 dives, and groups can take a private speed boat with their own captain.
Leave the wind and the waves behind for a day inland. Quad bikes, dune buggies and 4x4 Jeeps head for a Bedouin village with camels and tea, and the evening safaris add a BBQ dinner and an Oriental show. On the stargazing safari, a professional telescope shows you the desert sky. Riders can also book a guided horse trip along the beach and into the desert, with pickup from Soma Bay and the ride back included.
Ancient Egypt is within reach for a day. Luxor trips visit Karnak, the Temple of Hatshepsut and the Valley of the Kings or the Valley of the Queens, and one version starts with a sunrise balloon flight. Cairo trips show the Giza Pyramids, the Sphinx and the Egyptian Museum or the Grand Egyptian Museum, by bus, in a mini group, by limousine or by plane from Hurghada International Airport, about 45 km from Soma Bay.
Families can add Makadi Water World, the dolphin shows at Dolphin World, the Grand Aquarium and the semi-submarines, while couples may enjoy a Turkish hammam or a massage in Hurghada. The Hurghada city tour shows the marina, the markets and the mosque. Egypt Gate is a local team: each page lists the real program and what is included, you book online, and we confirm the pickup time on WhatsApp or Telegram.
