Since this is one of the most popular ways to escape Cairo for the beach, we recommend booking your trip as soon as you know your travel dates, especially if you plan to travel on a weekend or during peak season. Booking early ensures you secure your spot and the private air-conditioned vehicle.
This is a private transfer day trip focused purely on relaxation, so you will not have a dedicated tour guide.

We aim to make this trip accessible to everyone. The private vehicle provides comfortable, direct transportation, minimizing walking during the transfer.

If you or someone in your group has specific mobility needs, please contact us upon booking so we can coordinate the most convenient pickup spot and confirm accessibility details with the resort for you.
Tipping (baksheesh) is entirely voluntary and is always a kind gesture to show your appreciation for excellent service. While not mandatory, if you feel your driver provided a safe, comfortable, and helpful experience throughout your long day, a tip is greatly valued. A common guideline in Egyptian tourism is typically 5-10% of the trip's cost or a set amount you feel comfortable with, given the 12-hour round trip and dedicated service.
We want you to feel secure and supported throughout your entire trip. You will be provided with a local emergency contact number before your departure. Whether it's a simple coordination question or an unexpected urgency, you can reach our support team 24/7 for immediate assistance.
The ultimate highlight is the incredible contrast and convenience! You transition from the bustle of Cairo to the serenity of the Red Sea in just a couple of hours, landing in a beautiful resort with clear waters. The combination of relaxing on a pristine beach while enjoying the stunning view of the rugged mountains meeting the sea is truly a memorable, picture-perfect moment.
We understand that plans can shift. If you need to modify or cancel your booking, the best thing to do is contact our customer service team immediately. We will be happy to review your reservation and walk you through our specific policy to find the best possible solution for you.
