Are you in love with dolphins? Of course you are. Who isn’t? These intelligent, friendly creatures have a charm that makes people of all ages fall for them, and watching them up close is always a magical experience.

Hurghada Dolphin World is one of the best family-friendly activities you can enjoy while you are in Egypt. It is loved by both adults and children, offering an exciting marine show where dolphins, walruses, and sea cats perform incredible tricks, jumps, and dances to the sounds of a cheering crowd.

Hurghada Dolphin World Show

The show usually lasts for about an hour, during which you will see different performances by the dolphins and their trainers. You also have the chance to enjoy some exclusive activities, including the opportunity to swim with the dolphins.

Yes, you read that correctly. You can actually get into the pool and swim, play, and even hug the dolphin, all under the supervision of professional trainers. This activity is available for guests from 6 years old and above, which means the younger members of the family can join in too.

A family photo with the dolphins

Another fun experience at Hurghada Dolphin World is taking photos with the dolphins or walruses. These can be taken while you are in the pool during your swimming session, or even outside the water if you prefer to stay dry. Professional photography comes with an additional fee, but it is definitely worth it to capture these wonderful memories with your family.

More Extras

If you would like to enjoy a full day of marine-themed fun with the family, you can also include a Seascope submarine tour in your programme. After the show, you will be transferred to Hurghada Marina to board the Royal Seascope submarine for even more excitement.

Inside the submarine, you can watch schools of colourful Red Sea fish through its clear viewing windows. It is a fantastic way for children to enjoy the beauty of Hurghada’s corals and marine life without getting into the water.

Want to Make It Even More Interesting?

The same company that operates Hurghada Dolphin World offers a larger package that combines the dolphin show, the Royal Seascope submarine tour, and a traditional Egyptian Bedouin lunch that you can enjoy with the family.

Lunch usually includes Bedouin dishes such as grilled meat, grilled koftas, Egyptian green salad, Egyptian bread, rice, and pasta. They also serve fresh local juices, such as mango and orange, alongside popular Egyptian hot drinks like tea or coffee.

Combining one or more of these extras with the dolphin show can create a wonderful experience for the whole family. The company often provides discounts when you purchase these tours as a bundle.

A Typical Itinerary

The show usually starts at 10:30 am daily, and you can expect the full tour to last around three to four hours, including transfers (depending on your hotel location in Hurghada). If you add optional activities such as the submarine tour, swimming with the dolphins, photo sessions, or lunch, your day will naturally be longer, which is why we recommend combining experiences on the same day, especially since return transfers are provided for free.

What Should You Take?

If you are planning a swimming session with the dolphins, you do not need to worry about a swimsuit, as a wetsuit and towel will be provided for you.

We generally recommend bringing a bottle of water and wearing light clothing, especially in the summer, as well as carrying some cash for tips or any extras you may want to buy. Make sure you have sunscreen for protection and, if you need to take a bag, only pack the essentials and avoid overpacking.
