If you happen to be flying into Hurghada Airport for your Egypt vacation, Soma Bay is one of the most easily accessible and convenient beaches for you. It's only around 40-50 minutes away from the airport and is situated in a lovely little area with lots of good quality hotels, restaurants, resort facilities, and more. This is actually one of the fastest-growing tourist spots in all of Egypt and could become the new Sharm El Sheikh in the years to come, so it's worth visiting now while the crowds are still manageable and the atmosphere isn't too noisy. Lots of water sports can be enjoyed here and snorkeling is great at this Egyptian beach as well.
