Step aboard the Nefertari boat in Makadi Bay for a unique Red Sea experience combining comfort, culture, and marine discovery. Youโll cruise across calm waters, explore coral reefs from an underwater observation deck, and enjoy a guided snorkeling session in crystal-clear seas.
What sets this cruise apart is its pharaonic theme and relaxed pace. Between reef viewing and snorkeling, you can dress up in replica ancient Egyptian costumes, take photos on a themed throne, and finish the experience with a freshly prepared three-course meal served on board during either a morning or sunset sailing.
