After a morning of snorkeling, relax on the beach or challenge your friends to a game of beach volleyball. As the sun reaches its zenith, indulge in a seafood and Italian-infused lunch at the island’s restaurant, where the flavors of the sea are as fresh as the ocean breeze. As the day winds down, you’ll return to Hurghada with memories of a day well spent in paradise.

“City Tour Hurghada and El Gouna - We had two wonderful trips. Everything was well organized and with Osman we had a very warm but also very competent tour guide.
