The program
Day by dayDay of arrival
You are traveling with UCPA:

Egypt visa: to be paid at the airport upon entry into Egypt
The choice of flight Paris/Hurghada is very limited and restrictive.
Late arrival at night from Saturday to Sunday in some weeks may be at 4 am.
During your stay
Hurghada has developed with the rise of tourism, especially linked to scuba diving. Once a small fishing village, it is now the largest city on the Red Sea, which combines contrasts, especially with the wealth gap between tourists and the local population.
Monday & Tuesday: day at sea
Meet at 9 am at the hotel pier and board a comfortable boat (with indoor lounge and sun deck to enjoy the sun). This is where your instructor welcomes you and prepares your equipment. And off we go for a day of diving or snorkeling! (if you have an apprehension with diving you can only snorkel)
After your morning session, you have lunch on the boat, at anchor in a sheltered and quiet area. In the afternoon, you do your second session on another site, to vary fauna and flora. The return to the center is scheduled around 5 pm.
Wednesday: Desert Excursion
Departure in the morning, to discover the desert at the gateway to the city of Hurghada. The entire Red Sea coast is bordered by a desert with rocks and mountains.
Thursday: stand up paddle
Friday: Day trip to Luxor - Ancient Egypt.

Hosting

You can access the dive boat directly from the hotel's pontoon without transfer, and the kite and wing spot is located upwind from the hotel with direct access from the hotel beach.

You will stay in comfortable and air-conditioned rooms for 2 to 3 people. Each room has a minibar, private bathrooms and a small terrace. The hotel service ensures the daily cleaning of the rooms and the towels and sheets are changed every week.
Paid wifi at the hotel, opt for an Egyptian sim card, on sale in front of the hotel for €10.
To guarantee a double room, book the option when making your reservation.
