Itinerary

Your day begins with pickup from your hotel in Marsa Alam, followed by a drive to the marina where your boat is ready to depart.

 

Once on board, you’ll head out across the Red Sea toward the Qulaan Islands, one of the most untouched areas in the region. As the boat reaches the Qulaan Islands, the setting changes completely: with shallow turquoise water, soft sandy areas, and a calm, open setting that feels far from crowded spots.    

 

You’ll stop twice for snorkeling, giving you time to explore coral reefs and swim in clear, calm water. The visibility is excellent, making it easy to enjoy the marine life, whether you’re experienced or trying snorkeling for the first time.    

 

Between snorkeling stops, you can relax on the boat, enjoy the open sea views, or simply take in the peaceful atmosphere.    

 

Lunch and soft drinks are served on board, keeping you comfortable throughout the day.    

 

In the afternoon, return to the marina and transfer back to your hotel in Marsa Alam.    

 

Traveler’s Tip: Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and swimwear. A light cover-up is useful on the boat between snorkeling stops.

Great service, professional staff, quick response, and very comfortable vehicles I would like to sincerely thank the entire team for the excellent service and professional treatment throughout my experience with them. I truly appreciated the high quality of the service, the excellent condition of the vehicles, and most importantly, the quick response and the professionalism of your staff during the service. Thank you all for your great support and for making the experience smooth and pleasant. I highly appreciate your efforts and look forward to using your service again in the future. One small suggestion would be to keep the prices a little more reasonable and competitive. 😊 Thank you once again and keep up the great work!

Best travel agency This review is a true evidence to the great experience and happiness I had with this company. Honestly I've never dealt with people like the team at Respect Tours. They are incredibly friendly and welcoming especially Mr. David Asaad who is one of the most wonderful people I've ever met. He is very kind easy to get along with and has a big heart. His professionalism was outstanding and he is also a great leader with confidence and knowledge I would also like to give a special thanks to our driver Mohsen. He was very friendly helpful and professional throughout our trips and made us feel comfortable and well taken care of. I truly thank the wonderful Respect Tours team and wish them continued success and all the best.

Wonderful services - Respect Tour via Novotel Borg / Cairo Exceptional Support and Professionalism - Respect Tours - Novotel El Borg / Cairo I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Achraf Zaki and his colleague Ayman for their outstanding professionalism, kindness and dedication. From the very beginning, they made us feel completely confident and well taken care of. They took the time to understand our expectations and helped us choose the best options to discover and enjoy this wonderful city of Cairo in auguste 2026. Their professionalism, availability and warm attitude truly made a difference and contributed to making our stay even more enjoyable. We will certainly return to the same hotel on our next visit to Cairo, and it will be a real pleasure to have the opportunity to contact Mr. Achraf Zaki and Ayman again. Thank you both for your excellent support and for helping us create such wonderful memories of Cairo. We truly appreciate it! 🌟
