          Outstanding and friendly experience.
          Very well organised, the two locations were outstanding and our guide was knowledgeable and very understanding and helpful towards some of the less confident swimmers in our group. We had an amazing experience the reefs were beautiful and well looked after.

          Take this tour!
          Our guides Ahmed and Mohammed put on an amazing tour! This was a fun filled, all day adventure. A must do and totally worth every penny. Ahmed spoke 4 languages fluently to accommodate all the guests, including Arabic, English, Italian, and Russian! The snorkeling was spectacular, some of the best I have ever experienced. Please be advised, you will be traveling approximately a kilometer plus in distance, so be prepared in advance to know how to swim to not take away the experience from the rest of the group (maybe 12 people). Also, be prepared to pay $20 USD to rent all the necessary equipment that the national park requires, including wet suit, life jacket, flippers, mask, and snorkel. You may bring your own flippers, mask, and snorkel but you are still required to rent the wetsuit and life jacket. Some in our group argued and didn't want to, putting Ahmed in a difficult spot because the national park requires this of guests, not him. Just rent the stuff please so not to ruin the experience again for the other people who want to have a good time. Mohammed was also our photographer and he takes amazing pictures during the entire tour. His prices are very reasonable for purchasing his work. The quad ride in the desert turned out to be more fun than I expected. The camel ride is short, but it is fun and worth getting a few cute pictures. Hiking in the colored canyon was beautiful. Bring good hiking sandals or sneakers. Flip flop sandals are not enough and can be dangerous on the smooth rock surfaces. The hike was not strenuous and it was breathtaking during sunset. Again, Mohammed got some great pictures. The only downside was the local children who are there begging for anything. I didn't have any snacks or chocolate so I gave away a pen, a hair clip, lotion, etc. They do not take no for an answer and it can get overwhelming. Overall, a 5 star experience and a must do! I would definitely do another tour with Ahmed and Mohammed again.

          Very special place
          Once in your life you must climb this mountain. Its not possible to describe. Need to feel that spscial atmosphere. Hike at night is not easy, but worth milion times. When you see sunrise on the top of the mountain, it is just breath and mind taking. Do not forget warm clothes.

The bedoeïenen were very kind and polite and try to tell us something. Happily our travel companion were very nice!!! But never, never again for us! My advice, dont go with them!!!!

          Amazing
          The guide who snorkeled with us took all the time to show us the most beautiful spots ! Tours Package Egypt cannot be trusted: after you already paid VIATORTRIPADVISOR their driver asks you to pay again 30 €. VIATORTRIPADVISOR paid me back because Tours Package Egypt refused to pay me back!

          Impressive !
          It was not the first time I went there and it is very beautiful. I would have loved to spend more time on this spot. Watch out when you paid VIATORTRIPADVOSOR! Because the driver of Tours Package Egypt cheated on me for an extra 30 €. VIATORTRIPADVISOR paid me back because Tours Package refused to pay me back.

          Did the tour for $30 through our hotel with the Coloured valley and lunch. A drive through the desert was fun. Excellent activity to do

          Fantastic fire show!
          The show was fantastic: belly dance, rotating and especially the fire one! Transportation felt a bit scary - without seatbelts and bunks instead of seats The dinner itself was tasty and we appreciated it having been tailored for our vegetarian diet!

        The Van model was from the 1900s - it was a washed-up van where they tried to fill in as many people as possible. It was very uncomfortable the ride towards the mountain. They could have provided a better option. A ride that would have taken 1.30 hours took only 1 hour.
        The climb is not an easy climb. Please prepare yourself. But once you reach there on the top, It's all worth it, we had a group singing gospel and reading the Bible. It's also very cold on the top.

        The trip was alright from Dahab. At the mountain we got an awesome guide who come with us all the way to the top. The climb was tiring, but the sunrise was beautiful. After the walk down, we toured the monetary, which was fascinating. Recommend it to anyone, but you better be in good shape for the climb 😉

        Very nice sunrise in romantic atmosphere. However, the climb is very, very exhausting. On the way there is the possibility to use a "camel taxi". In the upper area, tour guides are available to help with the ascent. This makes perfect sense, but it also comes at a price. Overall, it was a very interesting tour.

        The Sunrise tour was very disappointing and Not what we expected. It was also dangerous in some Situations. We had further the feeling that we are alone on the trip. The driver didnt inform us about the Next steps and what are we doing for example he forgot to bring us To our Hotel. He noticed That after 1 hour.

        There was also a very Bad Communication between the Guide and the group. We didnt get necessary advice for the Tour. There was a Long distance between the leader and the last member of the group. He jumped forward and didn’t take Care of the last ones. It was also really dangerous because of the strong wind. The leader doesnt noticed.
        For that reasons we can’t recommend this tour for other people.

        Dear Valuable Guest, You have booked the tour with our company but you have changed the to next day and you did the with not our group or our company on this day and you was with other company but we were our mistake. We understand that you were not happy with what happened and you were already done ras Mohamed tour with our company and you were said that you liked and happy. So we have seen you write about a bad experience with us on TripAdvisor. Also, you have done the Ras Mohamed tour and you have enjoyed the tour and you confirmed that so we ask as you write about a bad experience you should write about a good experience.

        Was told to be in the lobby at 10pm, was finally picked up at 11 and driver didn’t even know my name. Our guide, Musa, was more of an escort than a guide. He didn’t share anything about history about the mountain and quit before the monastery tour and told us to just go in. Wouldn’t book with this company again

        The monastery was open but not the churches due to covid. We were allowed to enter to see the biblical burning bush. The well were moses met his wife. It was such a beautiful spot. The hike up the mountain took 2 hours. It is not an easy hike and luckily there were a few Bedouin huts open for snacks and drink. The hike is tough as you get close to the top. It is well worth the trip

        The Mt Sinai and St Catherine tour was well worth money. Our guide had a wealth of knowledge and could speak many languages. We were handed to the Bedioun guide to climb the mountain with took just over 3.5hrs to get to the top. Again our guide was full of knowledge and could speak many languages. The sunrise was spectacular and is a once in a lifetime thing to do. It is a must for any one visiting Dahab. We got to tour the St Catherine Monastery in the morning and it was amazing to see the history behind it.
        HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

        The trip was perfectly organised. We got all the necessary details for the tour beforehand at the agency. All our other (partly unrelated) questions were answered with patience and always in a friendly manner. The price was fair and everyone involved was super friendly and professional. Definitely recommended.
