Do I pay online to book?

No. You request a date and group size and we confirm availability with the local operator, usually within a few hours. You then pay the operator directly on the day. There's no online payment — just a quick request, and you can finalise everything on WhatsApp.

Do I need to be experienced or certified?

It depends on the experience. Snorkeling trips, desert safaris, Three Pools, Bedouin dinners and beach yoga need no experience at all. The Blue Hole guided dive requires an Open Water certification — if you're new to diving, start with the Discover Scuba try-dive or the PADI Open Water course.

Can you arrange hotel pickup?

Yes — almost every experience includes free pickup from your hotel or a central meeting point in Dahab. Tell us where you're staying when you request a booking and we'll arrange the details.
