The chances of cavorting with these majestic creatures are doubled as you are taken to a second dive site after an on-board lunch.

Munch away on the tasty fare and wash it down with some Egyptian sparkling wine as the boat glides towards the grand finale – sunset.

After a swim stop, a tasty dinner is served up by the crew. Then, with luck, you’ll see an Insta-perfect sunset as you cruise back to shore. Back on dry land in Port Ghalib, you’ve free time to shop, explore or stroll the marina before heading back to your hotel.
Port Ghalib Snorkelling
