Slip beneath the surface of the Red Sea without so much as dampening your sleeves on this semi submarine adventure from Sharm El Sheikh. Head down into the vessel’s lower cabin, where broad curved windows sit a metre below the waterline and frame the reef like a live-action documentary. Coral gardens shimmer past, parrotfish and shoals of glassfish drift by in ribbons of colour, and your on-board guide points out the creatures worth watching for. Air-conditioned, gentle and utterly effortless, it’s a brilliant fit for families with young children, nervous swimmers and anyone who would rather trade fins for a comfortable seat. Between viewings, climb topside for the salt-air breeze and postcard views of the coastline. Reserve your seat with Daily Pyramids Tours and see the Red Sea from a whole new angle.
Meet the technicolour world beneath the Red Sea without ever getting your hair wet on this semi submarine cruise in Sharm El Sheikh. Sitting in a cool, air-conditioned cabin below deck, you’ll watch coral heads, sea fans and darting reef fish pass by through generous panoramic windows, all narrated by a friendly on-board guide. It’s a laid-back, comfortable way to soak up the magic of the reef, with plenty of Kodak moments to spare.
Experience the wonders of the Red Sea with a semi-submarine trip in Sharm el-Sheik. Choose between a morning or afternoon tour, both offering a thrilling underwater adventure.
In the morning tour, you’ll be picked up from your hotel in Sharm el-Sheik at 8:00 AM and taken to the marina, where you’ll board the semi-submarine at 8:30 AM. At 9:00 AM, dive into the depths of the Red Sea for a 1.5-hour exploration, observing the vibrant marine life through the large viewing windows. At 10:30 AM, you’ll return to the surface and enjoy some refreshments on deck. By 11:00 AM, you’ll disembark and be transferred back to your hotel.
For the afternoon tour, pick-up is at 12:00 PM, followed by boarding the semi-submarine at 12:30 PM. The underwater adventure begins at 1:00 PM, where you’ll spend 1.5 hours marveling at the colorful marine life. At 2:30 PM, return to the surface and enjoy refreshments on deck before disembarking at 3:00 PM and being transferred back to your hotel.
Both tours offer a unique opportunity to explore the vibrant marine world of the Red Sea from the comfort of a semi-submarine.

Egypt is at its most inviting during the cooler winter stretch from November to February, when daytime temperatures are pleasant and sightseeing at pyramids, temples and open-air sites is genuinely comfortable. Try to avoid the deep summer months of June to August, when the mercury regularly pushes past 40°C (104°F) across much of the country and midday exploration becomes a real challenge.
Most visitors to Egypt will need to sort out the following before travelling:
Passport: Valid for at least six months from the date of entry.
Visa: Depending on your nationality, you may need to arrange one in advance or pick it up on arrival, and several passports now qualify for a convenient e-visa.
Travel Insurance: Strongly recommended to cover medical care and any unexpected hiccups during your trip.
Vaccinations: None are compulsory for entry, but it is sensible to check with your doctor or a travel clinic for any jabs they suggest before you fly.
Egypt is broadly a safe and welcoming country for tourists, with a strong security presence around major sights and busy resort areas. That said, it is always wise to glance at your government’s latest travel guidance before departure and keep half an eye on local news once you arrive.
Pin Down Your Dates and Budget
Start by fixing when you’d like to travel and roughly what you’re happy to spend. This immediately narrows the field for flights, hotels and tour options.
Sketch Out an Itinerary
Egypt spoils you for choice — Cairo, the Pyramids of Giza, Luxor, Aswan, a Nile Cruise, Alexandria and the Red Sea resorts are all in the running. Decide which corners of the country matter most and how many nights each deserves.
Pick a Trusted Tour Operator
You might book through a local Egyptian specialist, an international agency, or an established online platform for Egypt holidays. Read recent reviews and testimonials before you commit.
Choose a Ready-Made Package or Tailor Your Own
Off-the-shelf packages usually bundle flights, hotels, transfers and guided sightseeing. If you’d rather steer things yourself, a good operator will happily craft a bespoke itinerary around your interests and budget.
Lock In the Booking
Once you’re happy with the plan, get in touch to confirm availability. You’ll typically share your personal details and pay either a deposit or the full balance, depending on the operator’s terms.
Sort Your Paperwork
Double-check your passport’s validity, apply for an Egyptian visa if it applies to you, and print or download copies of your itinerary, hotel vouchers and tour confirmations before you fly.
Pack Smart
Pack for the season and the activities on your list. Comfortable walking shoes, high-factor sunscreen and a universal travel adapter are non-negotiables.
Enjoy the Adventure
Once you land, follow your itinerary at your own pace, keep in touch with your guide or agency, and soak up all the history, food and colour Egypt has to offer.
Tipping — known locally as “baksheesh” — is woven into everyday life in Egypt and generally sits outside your tour price. Small gratuities for guides, drivers, waiters and hotel staff are very much expected. A handy benchmark is roughly 10-15% of the bill or service, adjusted up or down for how attentive and helpful the service has been.
