Review of Sharm el Sheikh’s Ras Mohamed and White Island yacht trip, with snorkeling, lunch, pricing, safety advice, and practical booking tips.

“The boat was large and not to crowded, as a boat trip it was very nice and lunch was good. As a snorkeling trip it was terrible. The stops was at very small reefs that you could swim around in less than 5 minutes, the reef was shared with several other boats, each carrying 40-50 tourists. The groups was divided by language and a guide was assigned, we were told we must stay with the guide and could not leave the group. Some of the persons in the group could not swim and had to hang on to the guide. If you are average or experienced snorkeler you should definitely…”

Review of Cairo’s $10 felucca sail on the Nile, with hotel pickup, sunset views, guide quality, timing, boat limits, and practical booking tips.

“This was booked at 15.30. The pickup was 15m late. At 17.30 (the trip was booked for 2 hrs) we were still waiting for a boat. Nice views but no information was given on the sights. The lunch was a takeaway sandwich from a roadside cafe though tasty. No toilet on the boat contrary to what we were told. Boat just kept circling around a small area. The guide did take and share some lovely pictures.”

13.Private Dinner Cruise On Vip Yacht Sharm El Sheikh

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 38 reviews

Review of Sharm el Sheikh’s private VIP yacht dinner cruise, with sunset views, hotel transfers, seafood or barbecue, music, and celebration decor.

“It was lovely and worth every penny. The host goes over and beyond to ensure we were happy and comfortable. All round positive feedback only thing is the food was cold when served and people need to be warned before hand that you have to take off your shoes on the boat. It was not very nice asking guests to walk around barefoot.”
