Itinerary

  1. 1Tiran Island Snorkeling Adventure

    Your day begins in the morning when a representative meets you at your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh. You will be driven in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle to the marina, where your boat is ready to set sail. Once aboard, the cruise begins across the shimmering Red Sea toward the northeastern coast of Sharm El Sheikh, passing through the scenic Gulf of Aqaba. Along the way, the boat will anchor at several prime snorkeling locations, including the renowned Blue Lagoon. Here, you can dive into the crystal-clear waters to swim, snorkel, or simply unwind on deck while admiring the turquoise sea.

Multiple stops throughout the day allow you to explore different underwater spots, ensuring a rich and varied snorkeling experience. Around midday, enjoy a freshly prepared open buffet lunch onboard, accompanied by soft drinks and bottled water as you take in the panoramic views of the Red Sea.

What to pack

Clothing

  • Loose cotton or linen — it is hot in the sun and cold on the water after dark
  • A light long-sleeved layer for evenings and for sun cover at open sites
  • Shoulders and knees covered for mosques and churches; a scarf for women at mosques
  • One warm layer between November and February — desert nights drop sharply

Feet

  • Closed walking shoes you have already broken in — temple ground is uneven stone and sand
  • Sandals or slip-ons for the boat and the hotel

Sun and heat

  • A wide-brimmed hat — there is almost no shade at Giza, Karnak or Abu Simbel
  • High-factor sunscreen and lip balm with SPF
  • Sunglasses
  • A refillable water bottle

Practical

  • A universal adapter — Egypt uses European two-pin type C and F sockets at 220V
  • Any medication you take, in its original packaging
  • Small notes in local currency for tips and small purchases
  • A power bank — you will be off a socket for most of each day
