Hurghada, on Egypt's Red Sea coast, is one of the main starting points for offshore fishing: deep water close to shore, coral reefs and more than 200 fish species.
On Wildoora you will find trips on local charters with an experienced captain, fishing with jigging and popping and chasing yellowfin tuna, mahi mahi, sailfish, swordfish, amberjack and trevally.
The Red Sea can be fished all year round. For yellowfin tuna the period given in the package runs from January to June, while summer and autumn bring warm water and other targets. In midsummer temperatures often exceed 35 °C and in spring strong winds can blow: the organiser confirms departure depending on conditions.
In the package published on Wildoora the period runs from January to June. Other species, such as mahi mahi and trevally, show up in other months: the organiser advises on the best time.
Italian citizens need an entry visa, which can be obtained online before departure or on arrival at the airport. You also need a passport valid for at least six months. Always check the current rules on the Foreign Ministry website.
The package states whether the fishing licence is included. If in doubt, ask the organiser in your request.
Yes, it is allowed. For some species covered by IGFA rules release is mandatory, and the captain explains what you may keep.
Choose the package and send your booking request. There is no online payment: the agency contacts you directly to confirm dates, details and conditions.
