Cleopatra’s Egypt: Cairo, Alexandria& 5* Nile Cruise! (+additional day in Cairo-Mokatam Hill). December 26, 2025 An unforgettable experience from 3 generations family of 6, in a group of 15 travelers! Our tour guide, Egyptologist Mina Magdy, was knowledgeable, patient, helpful, professional, and personable. He has a vast knowledge of Egyptian history with a beautiful positive energy. He was always extremely communicative and informative. He made it easy to connect with our fellow group members. The group itself was comprised of people from all over the world, who were awesome. We had an amazing time and felt pampered and safe during the entire trip. Mina surprised me on my 70th birthday with a cake, gifts, and a group celebration. I felt so special! The trip itinerary was perfect. We saw as much as we could in 9 days, which included a great mix of activities complimenting themselves perfectly – visiting ancient Egyptian historical sites: Alexandria, GEM, Pyramids/Giza, temples in Luxor and Aswan, Abu Simbel. Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor! Hot air ballooning in Luxor! And finishing the trip with Cave Church and St. Simone Monastery in Cairo. We made a few interesting stops to the papyrus, cottons, perfumes/oils, and alabaster shops, where we learned the manufacturing process and bought amazing gifts for friends and family at home. The accommodations and the food were excellent! It was a trip of a lifetime! I will remember all the people and experiences the rest of my life. Thank you Mina, Thank you Timeless tours!

What our customers ask about Diving Tours & Trips
When is the best time to go diving?
It really depends on where you want to dive. You can dive the Great Barrier Reef all year, but the water is clearest from June to October with visibility reaching 65-100 feet. For the Red Sea, plan your trip between March and May or September to November when the water is a comfortable 75-80°F. If you're heading to the Galapagos, December through May brings calmer, warmer waters. Many travelers we've talked to suggest visiting during shoulder season when you'll find good conditions with fewer people in the water.
Which popular diving spots do these tours visit?
You'll get to explore some amazing dive sites like Thailand's Koh Tao with its colorful coral reefs, the Great Barrier Reef where you can see turtles and reef sharks, and Tofo Beach in Mozambique where divers often see turtles and reef sharks. The Chumpon Pinnacles near Koh Tao is another favorite, where divers often see turtles and reef sharks.
What marine life will I see while diving?
Get ready to meet some amazing underwater residents. On the Great Barrier Reef, you'll swim with giant turtles, stingrays, and over 1,500 different kinds of fish among bright coral formations. Red Sea dives often include close-up views of reef fish, moray eels and sometimes dolphins. At North Seymour in the Galapagos, divers regularly see manta rays, devil rays, eagle rays, sea turtles and octopi at depths of about 52-59 feet. As one happy diver told us, "The diversity of marine life was absolutely incredible - we saw something new on every dive."
What type of places will I stay in during my diving tour?
Your accommodation options range from fancy resorts to specially equipped dive boats. In Egypt, you might stay at places like the 5-star Desert Rose Resort in Hurghada where everything's included. For Great Barrier Reef trips, you'll spend a couple nights on a dive boat with cabin-style rooms. Bali offers spots like the Mulia Resort in Nusa Dua. One traveler mentioned, "The combination of comfortable accommodation and easy access to dive sites made the experience seamless."
How many dives are usually included in a tour package?
Most tours pack in plenty of diving time. Take the Thai Intro + Dive tour - you get 6 dives over 4 days, starting in shallow water before going deeper to about 60 feet. If you're heading to Mozambique, the Dive Safari includes two dives every day at Tofo's reefs. Your package typically covers refresher lessons, all the gear you need, and dives in both morning and afternoon with qualified instructors right there with you.
What are the best diving locations these tours offer?
Egypt's Red Sea is a favorite - at spots like Hurghada you can see clearly for 30-40 meters underwater through crystal water. The Galapagos Islands' Gordon Rocks is where you might spot hammerhead sharks and the rare Oceanic Sunfish. Lots of divers tell us they love Lovina in Bali, where you can often see dolphins and healthy coral reefs. Pemba Island off Tanzania has some of the best-preserved coral reefs you'll find in the Indian Ocean, with water that stays around 79°F.
