Morning Adventures on the Red Sea

As the sun rises over the Red Sea, Hurghada awakens to a day filled with promise and adventure. The weather is perfect for a morning cruise, with temperatures ranging from a comfortable 51.7°F to 68.4°F.

This luxurious cruise offers a unique opportunity to explore the extraordinary scenery of the Red Sea coast. With four levels of luxury, you can choose to bask in the sun on the open deck or relax in the shaded seating of the mid-deck.

The cruise departs at 9:00 AM, and the journey begins with an hour of cruising before the first snorkeling stop. 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.
