Discover the Magic of Naama Bay via Glass Bottom Boat
Naama Bay in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, offers one of the world's most accessible coral reef experiences through its famous glass bottom boat tours. This excursion allows you to view Egypt's vibrant Red Sea marine life without getting wet, making it perfect for families, non-swimmers, and travelers of all ages.
The Ultimate Post-Hike Recovery
Our group chose this boat ride after the grueling trail to the summit of Jebel Musa (Mount Sinai). Sitting above the calm water was the absolute perfect way to relax, rest our aching muscles, and “rehydrate” from the mountain.
Gliding Over the Reefs
The afternoon sun hit the water at a perfect angle, casting brilliant beams of light directly through our boat's massive viewing windows. We glided over the shallow, sprawling marine ecosystems of the “Near Garden” and “Far Garden” reefs. While we kept our eyes peeled for a rare hammerhead shark—a thrilling local possibility—the underwater world did not disappoint.
Hundreds of tropical fish put on a spectacular show beneath our feet. Vivid parrotfish, tiny clownfish, and darting triggerfish wove effortlessly between glowing blades of fire coral and swaying sea anemones.
However, the highlight of our voyage was viewing the second-largest brain coral formation on Earth. True to its name, this colossal organism mimics the rounded, wrinkled texture of a human brain, dominating the seabed at an impressive seven feet in both height and diameter.
We plan to be back in Egypt three times in 2027. Group excursions are planned for Jan 1-9, Jan 22-Feb 3, and Mar 30-Apr 8. Seats are available. To learn more about these or other trips with Bible Land Explorer, follow the link here. Discover the place where faith begins!
