First time snorkeling at Ras Mohamed and wowww it was better than I even thought. Went with my partner and we both loved the coral colors, sooo bright. Our guide (can’t remember his name, sorry) really explained everything and made us feel safe in the water, especially me since I was actually a bit nervous. Only downside—some spots had a lot of people but still, the vibes were great and the water felt like a bath! Would love to come back, def worth bringing ur own mask if ur picky about those.

Fun trip overall, Magic Lake is so pretty! The snorkeling part was awesome, though there were a few too many boats at one spot, felt a bit crowded. Staff were laidback and let us chill, and lunch was simple but tasty enough. My son (10) tried snorkeling for the first time and actually managed it, thanks to the guide being patient. Bring snacks if you get hungry easy, and a hat, the sun is BRUTAL.

I legit didn’t expect to see so many fish, like, everywhere you look! Went with friends (group of 5) and none of us are super sporty but the guide made sure we were all comfortable. The canyon hike was cooool, but wear closed shoes—my mate wore flipflops and regretted it. Got a bit sunburnt, my fault for skipping sunscreen. The guides care about safety and are friendly, not pushy. Would do again.

    Went for my birthday with my sister and it turned out EPIC! The Magic Lake is unreal, water is like turquoise glass. Our guide, Mahmoud, took hilarious photos of us (he’s got skills). Lunch was basic but filling, and we met some cool people too. Only thing is, the bus ride was a bit bumpy, but honestly I’d do it all again.
