Few experiences in Egypt capture the beauty of the Red Sea quite like the Royal Seascope Semi-Submarine Tour from Makadi Bay.
Whether you’re traveling with kids, exploring as a couple, or simply curious about the underwater world, this excursion allows you to admire colorful coral gardens and exotic marine life — all without getting wet.
This is your chance to see what lies beneath the waves in comfort, safety, and style.
🌅 A Unique Way to Explore the Red Sea Without Getting Wet
The Red Sea is world-famous for its dazzling coral reefs, crystal-clear waters, and thousands of tropical fish species. But not everyone wants to dive or snorkel — and that’s where the Royal Seascope semi-submarine offers the perfect solution.
This tour invites you to explore Egypt’s underwater treasures from an air-conditioned cabin beneath the surface, through wide panoramic windows that offer spectacular views of the vibrant seascape.
It’s like stepping inside a living aquarium — but far more real, colorful, and unforgettable.
The Royal Seascope is a specially designed vessel featuring two levels:
The upper deck, where passengers can relax in the sunshine during departure and return.
The lower observation deck, which sits about 1.8 meters below the surface, giving passengers an up-close view of coral reefs and marine creatures through large glass windows.
Each window is nearly 1.25 meters wide, providing crystal-clear views of the Red Sea’s underwater world. Comfortable seats swivel for easy viewing, and the air-conditioned space ensures a relaxing, cool environment for all guests.
🌴 Why Choose a Semi-Submarine Tour from Makadi Bay?
Makadi Bay, located between Hurghada and Safaga, is one of Egypt’s top resort destinations, known for its calm turquoise lagoons and thriving coral reefs close to shore.
The Royal Seascope experience offers:
Easy access from all Makadi Bay hotels.
Short, family-friendly duration (around 2 hours).
A safe, dry way to experience the Red Sea — ideal for children, seniors, and non-swimmers.
Comfortable, modern facilities designed for every age group.
If you’ve always dreamed of seeing the underwater world without scuba diving, this is your golden ticket.
What to Expect on Your Royal Seascope Adventure
From hotel pickup to your return, every moment of this trip is thoughtfully organized to maximize comfort, fun, and wonder.
Your day begins with a pickup from your hotel in Makadi Bay by an air-conditioned vehicle.
You’ll head to the marina, where the Royal Seascope’s crew greets you warmly and helps you aboard. Safety briefings are simple and quick — perfect for families with children eager to start exploring.
As the engines start, settle on the upper deck and enjoy the breeze while sailing across Makadi’s glittering shoreline.
The trip starts smoothly, with stunning panoramic views of Makadi’s coastline, dotted with resorts and palm trees.
The crew might offer you a soft drink or bottled water as you take photos and soak in the scenery. The sense of calm and anticipation grows as the vessel heads toward the coral reefs — your underwater adventure awaits.
When the Seascope reaches the reef area, it’s time for the main event.
Follow your guide downstairs to the air-conditioned underwater deck, where large panoramic windows line both sides of the cabin.
As your eyes adjust, the magic begins — you’re surrounded by the living colors of the Red Sea.
Through the wide glass panels, you’ll witness an explosion of color and motion. Schools of bright yellow butterflyfish glide past, while curious parrotfish nibble at coral branches.
You might even spot lionfish, angelfish, or sea turtles gracefully moving through the water.
The corals shimmer in shades of pink, gold, and turquoise — a living masterpiece sculpted by nature. Your guide identifies the species and explains fascinating facts about the marine ecosystem, keeping children engaged and amazed.
For about an hour underwater, you’ll have uninterrupted time to take photos, shoot videos, or simply gaze in wonder at the breathtaking underwater landscape.
☀️ 5. Return to the Surface and Back to Makadi Bay
After exploring the reef, the semi-submarine slowly ascends. The bright sunlight reappears as you return to the surface, ready for a relaxing cruise back to the marina.
Most guests choose to enjoy a final drink on deck and capture last-minute photos of the sparkling sea.
A comfortable vehicle awaits at the pier to take you back to your Makadi Bay hotel, leaving you with unforgettable memories and photos to treasure.
Unlike snorkeling or diving tours, the Seascope adventure is completely dry, safe, and easy, making it ideal for:
Families with small children
