Learn scuba skills, earn PADI Open Water certification, and explore Red Sea reefs on a three-day Hurghada course with hotel transfers.

“Be aware that you have to pay additional 115€ to get the PADI certificate. There was no lunch for all of the 3 days (nothing was prepared or offered). On the last day the taxi brought me to the wrong place (I almost got registered to a boat dive) but got help to get to the right place. The PADI E-Learning access, which is needed contains the theoretical Exam, was only given after day 1. It should take at least 10 hours (if done correctly, reading and listening to all material) and I had to rush to all the questions and skip most of the material in order to be…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 62 reviews · 3 days · from $480

Cruise from Aswan to Luxor in three days, with Philae, Edfu, the Valley of the Kings, Karnak, and guided Egyptology tours.

“This experience surpassed all expectations. The tour was well organised at every point whilst also giving us a chance to relax and enjoy the cruise. All our tour guides were friendly and informative and we were really impressed by them. The ship itself was clean, and the food was varied and we had many options to choose from. I would say that it would be helpful to have the daily itinerary ahead of time. The sights themselves were amazing although a couple of temples were extremely crowded. It would be better if they could be visited at slightly less busy times.”
