The experience

Your Luxor experience, made effortless

Not every port call needs a temple. Safaga sits on the Red Sea, and this excursion takes advantage of that: about forty-five minutes to Hurghada, then out onto the water to snorkel over coral reefs in clear morning light, with equipment, a guide and lunch all on board.

It is a small-group trip rather than a private vehicle, because the boat is shared. In practice that means a sociable morning, a guide who stays in the water with you, and no coach travel beyond the short run from the port.

The Red Sea reefs here are the coral gardens that make the northern Red Sea a diver's destination, and the water is calm in the morning when the wind picks up later. This is the excursion to choose if you have already seen the pyramids or you simply would rather swim.

Your route

How your day unfolds

Safaga Port, around 08:00 — Your Egypt Rest Tours representative meets you at the cruise exit door and escorts you to the vehicle for the transfer to Hurghada, approximately forty-five minutes.

09:00, Hurghada harbour — Board the boat. Your guide gives a short briefing, hands out masks, snorkels and fins, and answers questions before you go in the water.

09:30, first snorkel stop — A short boat ride to the first shallow reef, with the guide in the water alongside. This is where the coral begins.

11:00, second snorkel stop — A second reef, usually with a slightly deeper drop-off. Time in the water at your own pace.

12:30, lunch on board — Return to the boat for lunch, with soft drinks and mineral water served alongside.

14:00, return to port — The transfer back to Safaga, arriving at the cruise terminal well within your sailing window.
