What You’ll Need
To fully enjoy your fishing trip, prepare a checklist:
Passport: Required when departing from Egyptian harbors.
Appropriate clothing: Warm clothes in winter, and a cap and sunscreen in summer.
Towel, swimwear, and snorkeling gear: For exploring coral reefs or cooling off in the water.
Mobile phone: Reception is typically available up to 2-3 kilometers offshore, though not guaranteed.
Legal and Environmental Considerations
Fishing Regulations: Check with your captain about legal equipment and permissible fish species, as these may vary by season and location. Spearguns, harpoons, and nets are prohibited. In areas such as Wadi El Gemal and Gebel Elba Marine Parks, fishing is not permitted.
Conservation Rules: Avoid fishing near reefs or for protected species such as turtles, sharks, and Napoleon fish. Ensure your captain has obtained the appropriate permits and adheres to the specified areas.
Environmental Responsibility: Dispose of waste responsibly, especially plastic, to protect marine life and the environment.
