Orange Bay Snorkeling & Diving

I expected a full bus or at least a shared car with a group, but instead I got a private program: a driver and a guide who pointed out sights from the window, knew where best to stop and how to comfortably walk around the city. He offered various add-ons — buying fruit, fish, visiting an oil shop, etc — without being pushy. If I declined, he relayed that to the vendors right away, and no one tried pushing anything on me again. I asked to stop at an artist who draws names shaped as sea animals. I don't know if that was part of the program, but they immediately helped me buy a drawing, which was made right in front of me, filmed the process, wrapped it up nicely and handed it to me for $10. I didn't want to buy fruit or vegetables, but I walked through the fish market with huge curiosity. Then they showed me a pedestrian street with local shops. I saw the very first hotel built in Hurghada, back in the 1960s, a huge mosque, plus the sea and the yachts. The guide always found the best angles and took photos of me.

We did the "Orange Bay" excursion, we loved everything, the booking service worked perfectly! Everything precise and clear. Picked up right from the hotel, a Russian-speaking guide, the yacht was perfect, 3 decks! We watched the corals and the fish, they fed us well, the island itself is magnificent! The organization of the excursion was beyond praise, a very attentive crew who really care about the tourists!
