Makadi Bay: Nefertari Snorkeling, Lunch & Transfers

Step into ancient Egypt aboard the Queen Nefertari, a stunning floating replica of a royal pharaonic tomb. This one-of-a-kind snorkeling cruise in Makadi Bay, Hurghada combines underwater exploration, luxury dining, culture, and fun—all wrapped in a spectacular setting inspired by the age of the pharaohs.

Departing from Xanadu Makadi Bay Marina, your journey begins with a short cruise to Abu Hashish Island. Along the way, descend to the submarine observation deck, where panoramic underwater windows reveal a magical world of vibrant coral reefs, tropical fish, turtles, rays, and even the elusive sea cow (dugongs).

After taking in the view, enjoy a guided 45-minute snorkeling session in the clear waters of the Red Sea. Whether you're a seasoned snorkeler or a beginner, expert guides are with you every step of the way.

Back onboard, channel your inner pharaoh and dress up as an ancient Egyptian king or queen—complete with robes, headdress, and Tutankhamun’s throne—for unforgettable photos.

Then, indulge in a freshly prepared 3-course lunch or dinner, featuring your choice of seafood or chicken. The fixed set menu includes seafood soup, salads, rice, pasta, and either fish & calamari or grilled chicken, all served in a beautifully themed dining area.

To end your day, enjoy a short 25-minute walking tour around the marina and nearby shops before returning to your hotel—carrying memories of a Red Sea adventure unlike any other.
