Welcome to Seagate Hurghada – Your Gateway to the Red Sea’s Underwater Wonders

Together, they combine years of experience, deep love for the ocean, and enthusiasm to offer you an unforgettable snorkeling experience. At Seagate, we want you to feel the joy, wonder, and beauty of the Red Sea’s thriving underwater world, whether you’re an experienced snorkeler or stepping into the water for the first time.
