Hi everyone,

I’m planning a spearfishing trip to Hurghada in Egypt and would love some advice from anyone who has done it before. I know that spearfishing is allowed in some parts of the Red Sea, but I’m looking for up-to-date info on the following:

  1. What are the current regulations for spearfishing in and around Hurghada? Are there specific zones where it’s allowed or prohibited?
  2. Do I need any permits or special permissions to spearfish there as a tourist?
  3. What’s the best time of year for spearfishing in Hurghada, and any tips on good spots to check out?
  4. Can I travel to the airport with spearguns without any problems?
I want to ensure I follow all local rules and avoid any protected areas. Appreciate any advice on gear, species to look out for, or safety tips for the region!

Thanks in advance!
