Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
Budget first for Egypt entry fees, then for operator-collected protected-area charges around Giftun. Hurghada does not typically work like a destination with one personal annual marine park tag. Instead, the most visible extra cost beyond diving itself is your Egypt visa, plus any protected-island or marine-park access fee embedded in or added to a day-boat booking.
