The experience

After hotel pickup in Sharm El Sheikh, the minibus heads toward Dahab. A short final stretch then brings you to the Blue Hole, one of the best-known dive spots in the country. Here you snorkel in the water and see the geological formation that makes this spot known worldwide. The guide is with you throughout, and entrance to the site is included.

After snorkeling comes a traditional Egyptian BBQ lunch, then the tour moves to Dahab's promenade, where you have free time to walk the markets, shop and get a sense of the town. From Dahab, the group heads on to Towailat Mountains and Colored Canyon. The canyon's rock formations and colors are the draw here. You spend time taking in the landscape and sipping Bedouin tea with the group before loading back into the minibus for the return to Sharm El Sheikh.

A camel ride is part of the day as well. The tour suits mixed groups and families with children old enough to snorkel, though infants must sit on an adult's lap during transport.
