Thoroughly enjoyed the day trip to the beach, after a few busy days in Cairo it was nice to go to the beach and relax. The beach is sandy but rocky when you go in to swim. There wasn't many people at the beach to begin with (10:30am) and it slowly started to pick up, but not to the point where you couldn't get a sun lounger. The food at the restaurant was okay, buffet food is closer to warm than hot. I think the actual trip experience could've cheaper however our guide Mohamed made the experience 5 stars! (6 even if I could give it) he was very friendly and spoke English which was helpful when making conversation. He also went out of his way once we arrived at the beach getting us snacks and water. We felt safe during and after thanks to Mohamed and had a lovely day trip. Mohamed is an amazing guide and made the trip completely worth it!

Lovely and needed day trip to Ein Al Sokhna
M
Great day trip
I had a great day at the beach with this experience! I am glad that I booked it. Mohamed was kind and was on time, he also helped us to get snacks and water. The beach is small but it’s enough to get some sunshine and a dip in the sea. The sea is pebbly though so it is best to have water shoes with you.

Beautiful scenic beach trip
Mohamed was an excellent driver! He was vey considerate and attentive. He arrived at our hotel on time and got us to our destination safely. Once we got to the hotel he helped us with anything that we needed! The beach was lovely and I had a great time. I would definetly recommend anyone to go on this trip. It was good for a friends trip and would also be great for families. The beach wasn’t too packed as he got there early and enjoyed a nice time. I would recommend the trip and again a big shout out to Mohamed who was amazing!

Ahmed Hamdy Was Terrific
Ahmed Hamdy was a super guide for us. Very kind and considerate. He helped us find a beach that we could enjoy and loaned us some Egyptian pounds to pay for admission. We enjoyed the beach. It is difficult for tourists to find a beach without having to rent a chalet. Ahmed was very patient and good at negotiating our use of the beach.

Excellent guide and experience
Shadi as the tour guide made all the difference with Mahnoud the driver. The view was beautiful, Shadi pointed out landmarks and explained about thr history, but the best part was the optional boat tour recommended by Shadi with an underwater submarine section of the boat with amazing views and experience from the supportive crew. My son went on board crying that he didn’t like boats and came out smiling, beaming with excitement and very happy. Thanks Shadi

Ahmed Hamdy Made Our Beach Day Unforgettable
Ahmed Hamdy was much more than a driver, he became our guide throughout the day and made our beach trip truly unforgettable. He was friendly, professional, punctual, took amazing photos of our family, and made sure we were comfortable every step of the way. His kindness and local knowledge made the experience so much better than we expected. We gladly give Ahmed Hamdy 5 stars, but if we could give him more, we absolutely would!
