🛳️ The Nefertari Experience
Depart from Hurghada Marina and cruise for 40 minutes to Al Fanos snorkeling site. Descend to the submarine level observation deck to view through panoramic windows the astonishing diversity of life: vibrant coral reef systems, turtles, dolphins, rays, and of course the famous and rare sea cow (manatee), as well as countless different kinds of fish and corals of all shapes, sizes and colours.
Dress up in authentic replica costumes as an ancient Egyptian king or queen while seated on Tutankhamun's throne and capture great photos. After, cruise to the best snorkeling spot and spend 45 minutes in the water, getting closer to the marine life under the expert care of fully qualified guides.
Finally, dine on a delicious 3‑course seafood or chicken lunch or dinner — a set menu including 3 kinds of salad, seafood soup, rice, fish and calamari or chicken, and pasta. After arriving back at the marina, enjoy a 15‑minute tour of the marina and the shops around before going back to your hotel.
Two departures daily: Morning Cruise (09:00–13:30) or Sunset Cruise (14:00–18:00). Both include the underwater observation deck, guided snorkeling, the costume photo session, the meal and the marina tour.
