Went snorkelling with coral tours, 270Le trip. First stop was marvelous. However second stop was for fishing, short changed again. Saw some dolphins. Boat very small and hard to get back on.

Went on a desert trip with Pro Tours (in Marina) to see Bedouin people.
Bedouin camp was fake, probably they all upped sticks and left due to all the noisy quad bikers. Dinner and camel ride included. Some very nice desert scenery that you don’t see every day.

One day boat trip with Orca Diving, next to Turtle Inn on Marina. Cost 453LE.
Very pleasant boat to spend a day on, sunbathing, reading and snorkelling. Lunch served on board. Some great snorkelling near Sinai. Second stopoff was not so good for snorkellers, probably better for the divers.
