The Red Sea pushes up against Sinai’s ochre ridges and, for two sharp hours, invites you to see it from two very different perspectives.
You begin afloat: a modern glass-bottom boat glides over shallow reefs and the boat’s viewing panels turn the hull into a moving aquarium. Corals fan and parrotfish dart beneath the surface; the water is so clear the reef appears close enough to touch. Then, after a short transfer and safety briefing, the harness clicks and the parasail drags you skyward — a few hundred feet above the glittering sea — revealing the coastline, the arc of Sharm El Sheikh’s bays and the serrated Sinai skyline.
Sharm grew as a 20th-century port and later a dive destination; its reefs are part of the northern Red Sea’s long geological story of tectonic rifting and warm, saline waters that favor hard corals. The local economy revolves around hospitality and marine tourism, and guides often combine reef education with safety instruction to protect both visitors and fragile habitat.
Practicalities are straightforward: the combined activity lasts roughly two hours including transfers, runs year-round, and is suitable for most fitness levels. Expect sun, reflective water and a brief but thorough safety briefing for parasailing. Wear reef-safe sunscreen, tie back long hair for the flight, and bring a light layer for sea breeze on the return. If you want clearer underwater viewing, aim for morning departures when the water is calm and the angle of light enhances reef visibility.
The full experience is two hours total: about one hour on the glass-bottom boat and the remainder for parasailing, transfers and briefings.
