Excellent.... the setting and temples are magnificent, the weather was great, and the tour guides lovely. (more)Mark Dukes
Overall, it was worth the over-zealous shopkeepers and lack of accessibility because of the historical significance of seeing these ancient wonders. (more)KENNETH SYRETT
This was an excellent trip. We are thinking of coming back and I would definitely use the operator again. The care they provided for my handicapped husband and I was unparalleled. Very good natured people that really strive to make our stay so enjoyable. (more)Emily Duvall

This was a fantastic trip in all ways. The boat was comfortable and the crew was experienced and hospitable. I have travelled in dozens of countries on five continents, and this was one of the best trips I’ve taken. (more)Jeffrey Moore
I have been to Egypt four times (including a year of living in Cairo) and this is one of the most memorable experiences I have had in the country. It is utterly unique and a chance to see the rural lifeblood of Egypt. (more)mitch rose

We travelled to Jordan to visit friends so not part of this review.
Our two guides were/are the MOST memorable part of our time in Egypt. They were knowledgeable, fun and were on the spot for anything we needed or anticipated our needs.
Tips?
When booking be sure you and the agent are on the same page. IF phone connections are not good do not continue the conversation. It is your holiday NOT the agent's. Flowery words do not make up for lack of communication. The ... (more)Harrie Lerman
We had a fabulous holiday, all the staff at the tour operator are wonderful and looked after us really well... We came home refreshed, totally in love with the reef and being under the water, and keen to return! (more)Nicola Harker
We saw all types of fish from stingrays, eels, clownfish and lionfish along with larger shouls of silver and glass fish, which swarm around you in large numbers. (more)Maggie Carruthers
The most memorable was diving over the reef from Lighthouse bay with my teenage children. Feeling that we have only just touched the surface of a beautiful and fragile environment. Enjoying the gentle, humorous hospitality of the local Egyptians... (more)Kelly Pawlyn
Truly memorable, we fell in love with Dahab, the hotel and people. We will most definitely be returning more than once which is extremely rare for us....The operator arranged a trip for us with local Bedouin to take us on an evening supper and visit to a canyon - a simple, authentic experience rather than the bigger more commercial tourist trips. Small group of us and really memorable. (more)Vanessa Phillipson
Seeing the bright colours and sheer numbers of different fish and corals under the sea was incredible - an experience I shall never forget... Excellent - a great experience and good value. The accommodation was lovely and the food was fantastic. (more)Sally Godden

Excellent! Everything I hoped for and much more! The whole holiday was amazing! The owners and team of staff are so friendly and welcoming, loved the atmosphere at the hotel and I haven't felt so relaxed in a long time (more)Fiona Fretwell
Diving in Dahab with my 13 year old son, who was diving for the first time, was truly magical. The place, the people and the diving were beyond compare... Utterly fantastic, can’t recommend the whole set up highly enough. (more)Ollie Crowe
Diving in the Red Sea, seeing a turtle, a blue-spotted ray and several octopi was a highlight. (more)Jane Harrison
Being down ‘in’ the coral at ‘The Islands’ site was nothing short of incredible. In addition to a myriad of enormous corals, we saw a turtle, moray eels, octopus
and of course thousands of varied fish! (more)Tim Butcher
By far the most exciting part of this holiday were the trips to swim with the dolphins. So many dolphins came to the reef it was incredible. (more)Sarah Smailes
Swimming with the dolphins, I cannot describe how incredible this was. (more)Jeremy Homewood
Fantastic. I've recommended it to several friends who've seen my photos and videos and are so jealous! (more)Sibel Hodge
There were many memorable parts but I think the Valley of the Kings and the tombs was the most powerful. I loved Luxor! (more)Hilary Berg
Fabulous. Egypt can’t be anything but fabulous. (more)Alice Appleton
The most memorable part of the holiday was my first sight of the Pyramids, then my first sight of an ancient temple (Philae) then, hard to choose, but possibly sailing silently up the Nile on a felucca, or maybe Luxor temple at night. (more)Jennifer Blain
