What to expect

A short, private escape onto the Red Sea, timed for its best hour. We sail out from Dahab’s Lagoona in the late afternoon to Napoleon Reef, where the water is clear and the coral comes alive — snorkel for as long as you like, or stay on deck and watch.

As the sun drops behind the Sinai mountains, the whole sea turns gold. Bedouin tea is poured, the engine idles, and there’s nothing to do but watch the light go. A gentle, unhurried way to end the day.
