Best company in Egypt

Amazing company. Very friendly staff who go out of their way to help you with anything whilst in Egypt. Especially Emad! 10/10 would recommend this company. We cancelled some of our trips with other companies to book with this one because of how good it was - Cousins from Liverpool

Definitely worth doing this

Excellent day out and great value. The only add on was the rental of wetsuit, flippers and lifejacket needed for the snorkeling. The quad bikes was great and the snorkeling was amazing. Also do jeep Safari to the coloured canyon and rode briefly on a camel. All in all.an excellent day.

Odyssey

Before snorkeling in Dahab "must" stop for equipment rental for a fee (about an hour stop) then arrived in Dahab snorkeling amid a multitude of 10 minute hikers poor due to adverse marine weather conditions and improvised driving, then lunch with drinks for a fee and to follow, just to facilitate digestion, quad bikes of 15 minutes scarce and still ride 30 meters on the camel. And now immediately rushing to a bazaar in Dahab where the guide introduced us first to a perfume shop and then to a junk shop....(here too we lost about an hour). The feeling that they want to take money from you never leaves you. Finally visit to the Canyon independently considering that the guide at one point also followed another group. Inevitable the photographer who at the end offers you the photo shoot at 20 euros. As for the end time of the excursion it was overrun by about two hours also because of the continuous unnecessary stops for purchases of this and that.
