Parasailing in Hurghada: excursion description
Parasailing in Hurghada — a short extreme program for those who want to rise above the Red Sea on a parachute behind a boat and see the city, coastline, and water from a bird's-eye view.
The excursion starts with a transfer from your hotel to the pier. From there, a boat takes participants to a special vessel where the briefing and flight preparation take place. The parasailing itself is done in open water under the guidance of experienced instructors.
During the flight you're lifted to about 30-40 meters above the water. The flight lasts 6-8 minutes. During this time you can enjoy a panoramic view of Hurghada, the Red Sea, and feel a gentle sea breeze.
Parasailing suits people of different ages who want an adrenaline rush, new sensations, and beautiful photos to remember. The program is short: the approximate total trip duration is 1 hour.
