Step into ancient Egypt aboard the Queen Nefertari, a one-of-a-kind floating replica of a royal pharaonic tomb. This unique snorkeling experience departs from nearby Makadi Bay and combines underwater discovery, luxury dining, culture, and photo-worthy fun—all in a setting inspired by the age of the pharaohs.
With round-trip hotel transfers from Sahl Hasheesh included, you’ll head to Xanadu Marina in Makadi Bay, where your journey begins. After a short cruise to Abu Hashish Island, you’ll descend into the submarine-style observation deck, where panoramic windows offer mesmerizing views of vibrant coral gardens, tropical fish, sea turtles, rays, and possibly even a dugong (sea cow).
Then, gear up for a guided 45-minute snorkeling session in the crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea. Whether it’s your first time or your hundredth, expert guides are there to help you enjoy it safely and comfortably.
Back on board, step into the sandals of an ancient Egyptian and dress up as a pharaoh or queen for some unforgettable photo moments—complete with robes, a headdress, and a golden throne.
Afterwards, enjoy a freshly prepared 3-course lunch or dinner. Choose between seafood or chicken from a set menu that includes seafood soup, salads, pasta, rice, and your choice of fish with calamari or grilled chicken—all served in a royal-inspired dining area.
To wrap up your experience, enjoy a relaxed 25-minute walking tour around the marina and nearby souvenir shops before your driver takes you back to your hotel in Sahl Hasheesh—bringing with you memories of an unforgettable day on the Red Sea.
