This was a day filled with so many amazing activities. We started off at the equipment hire shop. The process was swift and quite enjoyable. You need to pay an extra 15 dollars for your equipment. We then drove to the Blue Hole. We weren't actually allowed to snorkel in the Blue Hole which was quite disappointing, but we snorkeled close by with the view of the beautiful mountains. We then went back to the restaurant where we had placed our belongings and had some lunch. The lunch was fairly good, I wasn't a fan of the mango juice as it was too sweet for me. We then went on to riding camels on the beach, which was a surreal experience. After that we went to Dahab Mall were we did some shopping, and headed to the colored canyon close to sunset time. At the end of our walk in the magnificent colored canyon, we had Egyptian tea and headed back to the cars and did some dune bashing on our way to the transportation that was going to take us back to our hotel.

One of the best days of my life. The drive from the hotel to climbing site was very comfortable and quick. We made one stop on our way to Mount Sinai and got to the climbing site a few minutes after the first stop. The tour guides were well informed and so supportive and helpful during the ascend. There are a couple of stops where you can rest and reenergize during the climb. The climb itself is quite challenging, but the support you get from the tour guides and other climbers is helpful. The hardest part is when you reach the 750 right before the summit. I almost gave up but the tour guides kept me going and rested with me when needed. There are blankets and hot drinks at the last stop before the last 100 steps. The view at the top was absolutely worth it! I would definitely do it again.

The yacht was spacious and there were three levels. There were a number of crew members who helped with different things such as: diving, snorkeling, food and drinks, photographers etc. The crew members made sure that we were taken care of. We snorkeled and dived in Ras Mohamed and visited the white island were we spent around 30min walking on the beautiful white sand. We had a delicous BBQ lunch on the boat and were given fruit at the end of the trip. There was a bar with hot and cold drinks and water throughout the trip. Overall, a fun day filled with amazing activities. The photographers and videographers make sure that they capture the beautiful moments with high quality photos.

Really great experience with different locations to swim and have a good time, the instructors were really friendly and gave informative instructions !

I had a great time,a very good experience,the team was very helpful and kind
