The 7 Sailing Trips with Lunch in Egypt That Earn Their Price

1.Nile River Dinner Cruise on a Yacht with Open Buffet

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 292 reviews · from $15Our pick

Spend about three hours on a Cairo Nile dinner cruise with hotel pickup, an open buffet of Egyptian and international dishes, Tanoura and belly-dance shows, live singing, and return transport. The cruise is shared, despite the private yacht wording, and drinks cost extra.

“Evrything was great. Muhamed was punctual, good driver and very kind person. I imagine that all cruise experiences are similar, but the hotel wanted to charge us 4 times higher price, so we are happy that we chosed Viator.”

2.Private Yacht Cruise to Dolphin House with Lunch : Hurghada

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 120 reviews · from $150Top rated

Start with private hotel pickup at 8:00 am, then sail from Hurghada to Dolphin House. You get two reef snorkeling stops, gear, safety equipment, lunch, fruit, and unlimited drinks, with a chance to see dolphins in the Red Sea. The private setup suits families and small groups.

“This was advertised as a two hour dive, “the only quick dive in Hurghada”, but the trip took 9 hours. The diving was great and the guides were friendly and knowledgeable but I was expecting a short trip without any extras so I could still have the rest of my day to do something else. So just be aware you will not be on a two hour dive like the listing advertised.”

Guides speak English, Arabic, Spanish, or German. Guide Halim and guide Miriam have earned particular praise, but water visibility and snorkeling time can vary.

“Great snorkeling trip on a beautiful yacht! I had a wonderful time on this snorkeling excursion. The yacht itself was very nice, clean, comfortable, and spacious and the crew was friendly and professional. The food served onboard was delicious, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. The snorkeling spots were good too we saw some colorful fish and had a nice time in the water. The only downside was that the snorkeling mask and flippers (25€) and tips weren’t included in the price, which was a bit disappointing. Still, it was a fantastic experience overall, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who likes snorkeling or is looking for…”
