[For all of you that are still in doubt whether to book this or not: DO IT!] This was the most amazing experience in my life. I cannot swim and am very afraid of the water so I never even dreamed of ever snorkeling. However, Shazly, our guide, ensured I was safe and guided me through the most unforgettable views of the corals! Thank you again!! The whole trip was just great, the Nino team in the Harmony boat was the best. They really know how to entertain everyone, explain the itinerary, joke, sing and dance along, and just make the trip a success. Do book this if you are in Hurghada, you will not regret it!

It was well worth the money. We had a minibus pick up at the agreed time from the hotel, a 20 minute ride to the quad park and then a 35 minute ride to the Bedouin village. The camel ride was just 1 minute and the visit to the Bedouin pharmacy and shop was a little artificial. The ride back on the quads was fun! We bought sunglasses and headscarfs before setting off for a few Euro and spent a little at the Bedouin village on creams just to make a small contribution. Overall a fun day for both kids and adults.

Overall the experience was ok, they told me 1 day before that the trip was cancelled and when I told them I am alone and it’s my bday they told its oright they will arrange the pick up the next day . The crew on board and the whole experience was wonderful , crew leader took care of everyone making sure everyone is safe during snorkelling. There was just no submarine included as mention on the trip, they could have last min slot me to another boat . Overall I am happy with the trip as a solo traveller.

Our guide Abdol was amazing! He was extremely patient with my boyfriend and I, as we were beginners scuba diving. The experience was like swimming in a live aquarium/exotic fish tank. The Red Sea was absolutely beautiful and the lunch served was delicious! A nice homemade Egyptian dinner on the boat. I would definitely recommend that anyone tries this at least once during their trip to Hurghada.

Hurghada: 6-Hour Dive Trip with Two Dive Sites Reviewed by Dominique, 04/03/2021

Overall the entire experience was great. Just that the camel ride was only 5 mins for photo taking , it wasn’t to go somewhere . And we did not visit any village , it was a tent set up in the desert that look like how they live, with a lady making bread and a young girl making fire. The guide told us to the village will be not possible as it is 13km away . Otherwise the experience is ok.
