    What you'll see and do

    1. Old Market

      Experience the breathtakingly beautiful coral reefs of the Red Sea. Enjoy the views through the large glass window at the bottom of boat, as you can see the underwater marine world without getting wet. You will go near the diving sites where beautiful coral reefs await you. Such a trip usually lasts around 60 minutes. The participants are usually accompanied by an expert guide who will be pleased to give you more details about the fish and coral species you’ll be looking at. Apart from being quite cheap, the trip is a perfect family attraction; children, parents and elderly people will all enjoy it equally. The boat is two levels; the first is the sea level where there are the seats arranged in two rows giving you the possibility to watch the sea depth. The second is the sun deck where you can relax, take some sunbath and enjoy the sea breeze. After your cruise, step back on land and finish your experience with a drop-off at the original start point.

    Fantastic service and wonderful support

    This was a really lovely trip, from pick up with my driver talking about the history of Sharm el Sheikh (which was fascinating), to the beautiful sights from on board the boat - it was perfectly organised. the only blight was through my own stupidity, as I lost my phone - it slipped overboard and into the sea. The captain of the boat and my taxi driver were wonderful in reassuring me and trying their best to recover the phone for me - I cannot fault their support at all. Thank you for your kindness and a wonderful service xx

    Very pleasant

    The experience was delivered as booked. The communication with the operator was effective, the hotel pickup went smoothly and I got to Naama Bay on time to enjoy the views before boarding. The reef visibility was great as we got surprisingly close to it. Nothing really replaces snorkeling, but, to be honest, you don't even need to snorkel to see fish on the Red Sea - just go for a swim in Sharm or Dahab. Anyway, this was a very pleasant boat ride. I recommend it for adults, but it seems especially exciting for children. The experience ended with drop-off back at the hotel.

    Really good trip!

    I was advised morning would be better for the heat and the calmness of the sea so changed the time very easily! The pick up was on time, and the boat was nice and clean, going over the reefs slowly to see the fish was such a good experience! The staff very nice!

    No show, and loss of cost,

    They did not turn up at my hotel, they were at a different Parrotel hotel , I asked for a reschedule and they said I had to pay again. Disgusting response from the tour operator.

    Glass Bottom Boat Excursion in Sharm El Sheikh: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sharm el Sheikh.

    How much does Glass Bottom Boat Excursion in Sharm El Sheikh cost?

    +

    Prices start at $25 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sharm el Sheikh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Glass Bottom Boat Excursion in Sharm El Sheikh take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sharm el Sheikh is not rushed.

    Is Glass Bottom Boat Excursion in Sharm El Sheikh worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 260 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sharm el Sheikh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Glass Bottom Boat Excursion in Sharm El Sheikh?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Glass Bottom Boat Excursion in Sharm El Sheikh suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Glass Bottom Boat Excursion in Sharm El Sheikh?

    +

    Around 91 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sharm el Sheikh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sharm el Sheikh and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Glass Bottom Boat Excursion in Sharm El Sheikh start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sharm el Sheikh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Sharm el Sheikh?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Sharm el Sheikh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sharm El sheikh Safari ATV Quad with Camel Ride & hotel transfer, Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Allah Gate & Magic Lake, Sharm El-Sheikh: Ultimate ATV Quad, Stargazing & BBQ Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Sharm el Sheikh?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Sharm el Sheikh?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
