Family day trips from Soma Bay: water park, dolphins, aquarium, semi-submarines, island boats and horse riding.
A family holiday in Soma Bay often starts with lazy days at the resort, but children soon ask for something new. The nearest big day out is Makadi Water World in Makadi Bay, on the way to Hurghada, with more than 50 slides and attractions, splash areas for small kids, lunch and soft drinks. Further north in Hurghada, Dolphin World has a dolphin and walrus show, and the Grand Aquarium lets you walk through a tunnel past sharks, rays and turtles.
Non-swimmers can still meet the reef. Three boats show the coral through windows: the Sea Scope from Hurghada, and the Panorama semi-submarine and the Nefertari boat in Makadi Bay, where everyone can pose in ancient Egyptian costumes. The private glass bottom boat takes up to 8 people. Kids who like to splash will enjoy the pirate sailing boat to Orange Bay or a snorkeling day at Orange Bay or Paradise Island.
Older children might prefer a guided horse ride along the beach and into the desert, or the swim with dolphins at Dolphin World after the show. The Hurghada city sightseeing tour, with the marina, the markets and El Mina Grand Mosque, is a gentle outing for all ages. Age rules differ from tour to tour, so check each page. The driver collects you at your Soma Bay hotel, and we send the time by WhatsApp or Telegram.
