Fantastic customer service. Excellent communication and great guide. Driver was amazing. Overall awesome experience i would highly recommend them to everyone. Price was fair and just. We spent more time than usual and they were very patient and understanding.
Went to St. Catherine's Convent with my mother. The tour was very interesting and rich. Visitors to the icon shop, the monastery and the town of Khatab, where they had a delicious lunch in a restaurant with beautiful sea views. Going on this excursion, in surely no regrets. Thank you very much to our guide Mohamed, told the story in great detail, outlined the nuances and answered any question! Once again, wish him a happy birthday!

Faraana Reef. Guide Mohamed, had a great tour!
The monastery itself is interesting, but there are many extra places along the entire route. In fact, the tour could take 1-1.5 hours without a road. The bus is unfortunate, at least in the back rows, back and legs fall off, didn't sit on purpose, we were taken last. For some reason they took me to Dahab for lunch. Dropped in some tz to contract oil sellers (not interesting) guide Mohamed is generally not bad
