Overview
Several ways to experience the Red Sea in one evening
Step aboard Nefertari at Port Ghalib for a sunset cruise with a distinctive pharaonic theme and more than one way to enjoy the Red Sea over the course of the evening.
The stated program pairs a below-deck observation area, with large panoramic windows looking out into the water, with a guided snorkeling opportunity and a meal served onboard.
A costume photo session in pharaonic dress is offered as an optional extra rather than a required part of the trip, and scheduled time around Port Ghalib afterward provides a final change of scene before the outing wraps up.

Sunset cruise
Sunset version only
An older source also mentioned a morning departure, but this page is specifically for the sunset variant. Exact observation and snorkeling durations should be confirmed rather than inferred from conflicting older material.
Why this trip
A cruise with more than one perspective on the sea
This cruise works because guests can enjoy the sea in more than one way — from inside the vessel through the observation windows, in the water during the snorkeling stop, and finally on deck as the sun goes down.
Its themed setting and sunset timing give the outing an identity of its own compared with a standard daytime snorkeling trip. The meal and boarding schedule are linked to the selected departure, and hotel transfers are arranged separately according to the cruise's own terms.
