Hurghada is the Red Sea base most people fly into for a beach week. The reef is offshore, so the snorkelling trips run by boat, usually out to Mahmya or Giftun.
Behind the town the desert starts immediately, which is where the jeep and quad-bike safaris go. And because the airport connects well, Luxor and Cairo are both possible as day trips.
