★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,824 reviews · from $26

Review of Sharm el Sheikh’s Ras Mohammed and White Island cruise, covering snorkeling, food, boat comfort, extra fees, timing, and value.

“We boarded boat the crew were knowledgeable and pleasant. Lunch was nice, here's downside, stop points are overcrowded with dozens of other boats . An additional dive is 25.00 English, photos 35 English other boat pictures (yes there are 2 types in the sea and outside dea) is additional. And they get you to do a trip advisor review whilst sat with you and say "you do it now' ok it's a hustle I get it but if you can look past all this with a nice form "no thanks' it's a decent trip for the money”

Review of a 2-day Hurghada to Luxor tour with a sunrise balloon ride, temples, tombs, felucca cruise, hotel, meals, and private guide.

“Today was the second day of our tour in Luxor with the Magic Guide (Aladin). We visited the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, and the Colossi of Memnon, and the whole experience was truly fascinating. Our guide explained every detail and shared the full history behind each site and the different tombs. He highlighted the most impactful ones to visit, which made the experience even more meaningful and enriching. We also had the chance to see how local artisans create beautiful objects from natural stones, which was incredibly interesting and unique to witness. A truly impressive day — full of culture, history, and amazing insights. Highly recommended!”
