Parasailing takes place off Hurghada, on the open waters of the Red Sea. A boat tows a large sail from which you hang by a harness, and the speed is enough to lift you off. The flight lasts about fifteen minutes, enough to get past the first moment of surprise.
There's no technique to master: the cable pulls taut, the sail fills and you rise smoothly above the wake. Up high, the sound of the engine fades and the sea reads differently, with its crisp gradients of blue and the coastline stretching into the distance. The return is gentle, down to the rear platform. You can fly as a pair, harnessed side by side under the same sail.
