The water in the Red Sea is denser than, for example, in the Black Sea. Not by much, but the difference is noticeable. So snorkeling without fins will not be a problem, but you will spend a little more energy. Well, you have to limit yourself to a depth of 4-5 meters, of course.
Surely it will be possible to buy inexpensive fins on the spot, and leave them there. Not in a hotel, of course - I don't think there will be cheap fins in 5 * - but somewhere nearby.
But what should be taken care of is the snug fit of the mask. Getting into the eyes of the Black Sea water and the Red Sea water are "two big differences." :)

Yes, it's okay, water got into and not only in the eyes. I completely managed without fins, although I had to buy everything for snorkeling, including fins in Hurghada. Buy fins in a city store (if necessary), bargain all the way, see if there will be a rental. It’s better to test your own mask, but China is also inexpensive there.

Fins rental is the last thing. Mushrooms.
In Sharm it is better to use fins.

I completely agree with the review of dfad1ripe, if you do not plan to dive deep, but want to admire the beauty of the sea at a shallow depth, then you can do without fins. My husband and I didn’t take fins with us, but then my husband wanted to and we bought them (for $ 7), he swam in them once, and the rest of the time they lay in the room, I didn’t even want to try to swim in them. But it's up to you.

It all depends on what your goals are and what kind of swimmer you are. Personally, I have no idea what you can do in the Red Sea without fins. But this, as they say, "to each his own" (c).

And yet, you definitely can’t save on rental, and, as elenako wrote, this is the last thing;)

On the contrary, I open my eyes under water, (like therapeutic baths). Well, the irritation accumulated from six months of work at the computer goes away. For example, in the Mediterranean Sea I did not like to do this in the Alanya region, it seemed that the water was more annoying than in the Red Sea.

If you know how to dive deep with a mask, then it is better to take fins, they will help you a lot here. If you are just swimming on the surface and not diving, then you can get by with just a mask. Anyway, the most beauty opens when you hang out and watch the fish. Sometimes in the animal world - resting.

During high tide and low tide there was a decent current speed. I felt very comfortable in the fins. Last is sold a lot in Egypt in shops.

My husband and I are avid snorks! My husband is more comfortable in fins, but he swims like Ichthyander, far and deep, and a mask is enough for me, and of course, a snorkel !!
