Nefertari Boat Hurghada from Makadi Bay– Right from the moment the sun peeks over the Red Sea horizon, the promise of a unique adventure awaits: the Nefertari Cruise from Makadi Bay carries you not just across water, but into a world where ancient Egypt meets coral-reef splendour. Imagine descending below sea level in an underwater chamber. snorkelling in crystal clear lagoons, and posing in pharaoh and queen costumes aboard a majestic floating “tomb” styled luxury vessel.
Few excursions blend spectacle, comfort, and nature like this one. Departing from Makadi Bay, the Nefertari Cruise takes you on a journey where the opulence of ancient Egypt meets the vibrant marine life of the Red Sea. For couples seeking romance, families aiming for fun. or travellers wanting exotic memories — this trip delivers.
Your day begins with a comfortable air-conditioned pickup from your hotel in Makadi Bay. After a scenic 20-30 minute drive you arrive at the marina, where the Nefertari vessel waits — regal in design, adorned with Pharaoh-themed décor and inviting you to step aboard.
Walking up the gangway you’ll feel the difference: ornate furnishings, themed lounges, and the promise of something more than a simple cruise. The crew welcomes you. explains the schedule and menus (Sea Food, Chicken or Vegetarian), and sets sail into open water.
After a gentle sail of around 30-40 minutes through the mesmerizing blue waters of the Red Sea, we reach the first stop. Here, you are invited downstairs into an air-conditioned observation deck—a “submarine-like” chamber with panoramic windows. 3 metres below the surface. Through these windows you’ll see coral formations, schools of colourful fish, rays gliding past — all without getting wet. This immersive segment lasts about 40 minutes.
Next: the call of the sea. Allocated masks, fins, life jackets — the boat glides to a renowned reef. Under the guidance of friendly snorkel experts, you slip into the water and float amid shimmering coral gardens, turtles. morays and more. Time slows as you explore a reef system many day-trippers overlook.
After drying off and relaxing on deck, it’s time for a touch of fun: dress up as an ancient Egyptian king or queen in the shimmering “Tutankhamun” salon and capture photos you’ll remember for life. Then a gourmet 3-course meal awaits: salads, soup, the main (seafood, chicken or vegetarian) with pasta or rice, followed by dessert — all served with soft drinks and attentive service.
With the sun descending and afternoon embracing evening (for the sunset trip) or the sea shimmering under mid-day light (for the morning option), we begin our leisurely return. Enjoy panoramic views, a quiet drink on the deck, and chat about your day’s highlights. You’ll arrive back at the marina and be transported to your hotel, your camera full and heart happy.
