  • كانت رحلة رائعة جدًا واستمتعنا بكل لحظة فيها! 🌊 التنظيم كان ممتازًا والأجواء على متن القارب كانت جميلة وممتعة جدًا. وأحب بشكل خاص أن أشكر فريق العمل على متن القارب، كانوا استثنائيين بكل معنى الكلمة: محترمين، لطفاء، بشوشين ومتعاونين جدًا، وخفّفوا علينا الجو وجعلوا الرحلة أكثر متعة وضحكًا. 😍👏 تجربة جميلة جدًا وأنصح بها بشدة، وبالتأكيد سنكررها مرة أخرى!

    Red Sea: Orange Bay and Snorkeling Cruise Tour with Lunch
  • A beautiful trip to Luxor. Very friendly and competent Egyptologist (Aladin). Logistics were organized very well. Just take into consideration that the start might be significantly earlier (4:15 instead of 5am) in order to pick up guests outside Hurghada.

    Marcus German
    Hurghada: Luxor Tour with Valley of the Kings & Tutankhamun Tomb
  • Immer ansprechbares und hilfreiches Personal. Foto Crew bietet Bilder und Videos zu guten Preisen (VB) an aber auch ein "Nein" wird akzeptiert. Toller Schnorchel-Stopp mit ausreichend Zeit für alle. Buffet auf dem Schiff mit Stoffgetränken ist gut für den europäischen Magen zu vertragen und ausreichend. Magawish-Island ist einzigartig entschleunigend und die tollen Stunden sind nicht in Worte zu fassen. Die Rückfahrt zum Hafen Hurghada mit Sonnenuntergang knapp über den Palmen und Häusern der Stadt war unvergleichlich imposant und abenteuerlich. Zur Verbesserung: Müllbehälter stehen zwar auf den Decks, jedoch nur unscheinbar. Für deutsche Verhältnisse ist etwas zuviel an Chips - Tüten und Plastik - Bechern auf dem Boden gelegen. Durch böigen Wind, ist während der Seefahrt dann der ein oder andere Plastikbecher ins Meer geweht worden. Insgesamt sehr zu empfehlen und immer wieder gerne noch einmal 😉
