Wonderfull Tour - We had an amazing day. The Red Canyon tour was absolutely stunning, and the whole experience was very well organized. We enjoyed snorkeling, ATV riding, and even camel riding — every activity was fun and memorable. A special thanks to our guide Abanob, who was extremely friendly, professional, and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the day. Highly recommended tour for anyone visiting the area!

Fun experience. Highly recommend! - Guides (Sayid, Abdul and Ahmed - sorry if I got that wrong!) were all very helpful and kind. I lost my smart watch at one stop and Sayid helped me find it - thank you. Great snorkelling. The camel and atv riding was fun. The canyon was interesting but be aware it is not for people with mobility issues.

Exceptional experience! - We just did the excursion to Dahab and... wow, what an amazing day! 😍 We had so much fun from start to finish. But the thing that won us over the most were the guides: very kind, very nice, always ready to joke and make us feel at ease. There was not a single request they did not respond to with a smile. You could tell they love what they do and they care so much about making everyone feel good. Thank you so much for this perfect day, you made us fall in love even more with Dahab and your energy!💙

Don't fall for the pushy rental spiel - The day is OK for what you pay but we were forced to unnecessarily rent life jackets and wetsuits. We were told we would be in the water at the Blue Hole for over an hour, swimming a long way out through big waves and that life jackets were essential. Also that it would be cold so we had to have wetsuits. We explained that we do open water swimming in the UK and can easily swim for more than an hour but we were told it would be a big problem if we got into any difficulties and we had to have the wetsuits and life jackets. We would be allowed to have 5 minutes to 'free dive' before getting out. The reality was that we were in the water for less than 30 minutes and didn't even swim 100m. The snorkel guide carried the life jackets the whole time because it wasn't a requirement to wear them. Not sure how much commission the tour guide and driver got from the rental but that was €20 down the drain. The camel ride is a perfunctory walk along the beach and back for about 5 minutes. The shopping experience in Dahab involves being taken to a perfume shop where you get an explanation of a few different oils which was quite interesting and there wasn't any high pressure to buy anything.
