Read this carefully, I wish someone had written it for us to be able to plan ahead: the ship won’t leave early on the first day. They leave at night, just try to get there before 6 p.m. We booked the one that included Abu Simbel for the last day, they pick you up around 4:10 am, you have to do the check out at that time and leave your bags there. They will bring you back when you are finished. The time you get back to the ship is around 2 pm, we booked our flight until 8 pm. We had to wait for hours to leave. The airport wont be open until 6 pm. This is the most important information I will give you: For the Horus temple (Edfu), the pick up time always depends on the boat, but if you have any consideration/respect/love for the animals, Do Not let them take you on the horse rides. The horses are sick, skinny and not well taken care of. They will lie to you and tell you that that is the only way to get to the temple. The temple is 1 km away, arrange for a moto, a car or walking. Pls

Best experience we had in Hurghada. Arabi was very helpful and gave us lots of interesting information, the best guide! Our driver was also very professional. An amazing experience and it completed our trip. Definitely recommend to everybody coming to Hurghada!

Wonderfull experience, great service and support team are great, we have had a good comfort transfer in a van, Luxor city very interesting and you will feel different by being there.. thanks for the great organization

Very nice trip! We all did see a lot of fishes and corals under water from the basement of the submarine. Snorkelling was only for the brave ones. Most of us (tourists) found the water still too cold.

Ahmed and the crew were brilliant. Kept the group well informed and safe. The whole package was well organised. Me and my small family had a great time!
