Here, you can dive into the crystal-clear waters and explore the vibrant coral reefs, guided by an expert team ensuring both safety and fun. The cruise continues north in search of dolphins, offering a second round of snorkeling. A sumptuous open buffet lunch awaits you on the boat, featuring BBQ chicken, Egyptian kofta, grilled shrimp, and oven-baked fish. The trip concludes with a return to the marina at 3:30 PM, leaving you with unforgettable memories of the Red Sea.
