I want to share my impressions of today's 5-in-1 sea excursion. Top marks for the excursion. My child was thrilled. We saw dolphins 🐬. There was diving, we swam in the open sea. Our guide Roman is just fire. Fun and interesting. We also rode the banana boat. Anyone who wanted could get a massage. I'm so glad I got to spend my birthday with you and the sea. Thank you and thank you Roman.
Good afternoon! I took several excursions — Ras Mohammed and White Island, Wadi El Weshwash, and right now I'm in the middle of the Cairo and Alexandria excursion (the last one is tomorrow). I loved everything, but I want to highlight the one that doesn't get many reviews — Wadi El Weshwash, with an excellent guide, Sherif, and a positive photographer, Ahmed! Snorkeling, camel rides, the gorge itself, everything was great. I loved making my way to the Wishing Lake, so engaging. Yes, it's shallower these days because of the lack of rain, but that brought no disappointment at all, that's just nature. The only downside is the litter, but it's everywhere, including at the pyramids. The main thing is just not to focus on it, and everything turns out wonderful!
