Parasailing in Sharm el Sheikh: 10 minutes above the Red Sea

Soar effortlessly over Sharm’s sparkling waters with hotel pickup included

Parasailing in Sharm el Sheikh is a 10-minute aerial flight above Sharm el-Maya, launched from a speedboat in the Red Sea. Hotel pickup and life jacket are included. A guide in your language meets you at the hotel. The activity suits anyone curious about extreme sports without the risk of freefall.

The experience

You arrive at your hotel in Sharm el Sheikh with a free afternoon and no plans to fill it. A guide picks you up in the morning and drives you to Sharm el-Maya, the launch point on the coast. From there, you board a speedboat and spend 10 minutes in the water before the parasail opens above you. For the next stretch, you're airborne: tethered to the boat below, watching the Red Sea and the shoreline of Sharm el Sheikh unfold beneath you. It's the sensation of flight without the extremities of throwing yourself from a plane or climbing to enormous heights. At the end, the boat brings you back to shore, and your guide drives you to your hotel.

The speedboat does the work. You experience the view. A life jacket is provided, and no prior experience is required. The operator handles the setup and the flight itself. The guide speaks English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and several other languages, so instructions are clear before you leave the water.
