Tour Overview

Nefertari Cruise – A Royal Red Sea Experience in Marsa Alam

Step aboard the majestic Nefertari Cruise, a luxurious floating replica of Queen Nefertari’s tomb, and experience the magic of ancient Egypt combined with the underwater wonders of the Red Sea. Departing from Port Ghalib Marina, this unique cruise offers an unforgettable blend of culture, marine life, snorkeling, and panoramic submarine views — all wrapped in a royal ambiance.

A Floating Tribute to Ancient Egypt

The Nefertari Boat is more than a vessel — it's a theatrical experience. The interiors are lavishly decorated with replicas of pharaonic art and Tutankhamun’s treasures, and guests can even sit on a reproduction of the golden throne. The upper deck evokes ancient temples with towering columns and a celestial “star roof,” while the lower deck — a submarine-style viewing platform 3 meters below sea level — offers breathtaking views of coral reefs and marine life.

Red Sea Magic Meets Pharaonic Elegance

Cruise to Marsa Mubarak (Turtle Bay), one of the best snorkeling spots near Marsa Alam, home to turtles, rays, colorful reef fish, and, if lucky, the elusive dugong (sea cow). Enjoy 45 minutes of snorkeling, then descend to the underwater viewing room for a "fish-eye" tour of the reef without getting wet. Choose from two tour times:
