Full description
Spend a wonderful day cruising around Orange Bay and Giftun Islands, where you can enjoy the stunning scenery and explore the vibrant underwater marine life. In the evening, head to an observatory after dinner to admire the breathtaking beauty of the night sky.
Snorkel through vibrantly colored marine life at two stunning destinations on this cruise from the Red Sea Governorate to Orange Bay and the Giftun islands. Be served a mouth-watering lunch, soft drinks, and mineral water on board.
Your adventure begins when you’re picked up in the morning at your hotel and then head out for a day-long snorkeling trip to Red Sea destinations. Sail to Orange and Giftun islands, keeping an eye out for dolphins along the way.
When you reach Orange Island, swim in crystal water and enjoy the white sandy beach. During the trip, make 2 stops for snorkeling, where you’ll see astonishing coral reefs inhabited by colorful fish.
Add to your tour by adding the 20-minute massage and VR 360° snorkeling experience option or the 10-minute parasailing option. Relax on the sundeck and enjoy the fresh sea breezes while cruising back to the marina by speed boat to start your next activity in the desert.
After enjoying your sea trip, start your next adventure. Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Egyptian desert on a stargazing tour from Hurghada with hotel transfers. Board a Jeep and take in the sunset, then ride a camel, have Bedouin tea and a BBQ dinner, and enjoy stargazing with an astronomist.
Begin with pickup by a Jeep to your tour starting point. Then, venture for 26 kilometers into the picturesque desert of Hurghada. Drive through the sunset observation area until you reach the Bedouin camp.
Next, receive a cool and refreshing welcome drink as well as herbal Bedouin tea. Continue with your guide and experience traditional Bedouin life, including a Bedouin buffet dinner.
After dinner, relish the tranquility of the desert and the millions of stars away from the noise of the city. Follow your guide on a trip to see the distant Milky Way represented through the stars.
Finally, see some of the planets through a telescope, and learn exciting information about outer space and star science from an astronomist. Once you are done admiring the stars, return to your hotel by Jeep.
