Sahel Hashesh Submarine Excursions
Sahel Hashesh Sindbad Submarine Tour
The Sahel Hashesh Sindbad Submarine Tour takes you below the Red Sea without scuba-diving experience. After pickup from your hotel, our team transfers you to the submarine for a two-hour excursion, including 50 minutes underwater. Large viewing windows frame coral formations, reef fish and the changing blue light as the submarine moves at a steady pace.
Ride the Sindbad Submarine for an excursion that keeps you dry. The vessel carries up to 44 passengers and operates with two captains. Once you are seated, the submarine descends gradually to 72 feet (22 metres), giving you time to watch the view change. The main underwater section lasts about 50 minutes; the full experience also includes boarding, the transfer and the return to your hotel.
At 22 metres, the Red Sea looks different from the shoreline. Coral heads and reef shelves come into view below the windows, with small, brightly coloured fish moving between them. Visibility depends on the conditions that day, but the route is planned to give travellers a close look at marine life from inside the cabin. You can see the underwater world of the Red Sea while remaining seated and protected from the water.
The visit follows a simple order. We pick you up from your hotel in Sahel Hashesh and take you to the departure point. After boarding, the crew explains the seating before the underwater section begins. The submarine then returns to the surface, and our driver takes you back to your hotel. The pace suits travellers who want to see marine life without a full-day boat trip or the preparation involved in diving.
No scuba-diving certificate or swimming ability is needed, making this excursion suitable for families, first-time visitors and travellers who prefer to observe the sea from a dry cabin. Children should be able to remain seated and follow the crew's instructions. The submarine has enclosed seating, but anyone with serious mobility concerns should contact us before booking to discuss access and boarding arrangements.
Our team organises the pickup, transfer and return journey, so you do not need to arrange transport around a fixed marine departure. The trip focuses on the underwater viewing experience, so meals and an extended beach stay are not part of the plan. Bring your camera if you would like to photograph the reef, though reflections on the viewing windows can affect images.
Is scuba diving required? No, scuba diving is not required for the Sahel Hashesh Sindbad Submarine Tour; you see the Red Sea from the submarine cabin at a depth of up to 22 metres.
How long is the excursion? The complete excursion takes about two hours, including hotel pickup, boarding, the submarine ride and the return transfer, with approximately 50 minutes spent underwater.
What happens if I am concerned about the depth? You remain inside the submarine throughout the underwater section, and the vessel descends and rises under the crew's control. Travellers with a medical condition or strong concerns about enclosed spaces should ask our team for advice before booking.

The Sindbad submarine is suitable for travellers who cannot swim and for children who can safely follow the crew’s instructions, because the underwater viewing takes place inside the vessel rather than in the sea. You can enjoy incredible views of the underwater world of the Red Sea without scuba-diving or snorkelling.
Parents should consider their child’s comfort with boarding, enclosed spaces and a two-hour excursion. Ask our team before booking if a traveller has specific mobility or medical needs.
Wear comfortable, lightweight clothing and practical shoes for the transfer and boarding, and bring your booking details, sun protection and drinking water. You do not need scuba-diving equipment for the submarine, since you stay inside while viewing the coral reefs and coloured fish.
