Safaga Cruise Reviews

The port of Muscat was cancelled just after we booked this cruise and the port of Fujairah was substituted. Fujairah is a major re-fuelling port and like the majority of UAE countries - hot, dry, desert and rugged mountains. As we arrived on a Friday (Muslim holy day) we opted to take a short tour to visit the local mosques, fort, and Friday market. We would not put Fujairah on our "Must see" ...

Walked to Mahogany Bay. ...

nothing much to do here-you need to take a cab to do any shopping. Beach day is the best option. Do not go to Luxor unless you can stay overnight there! It is a long, boring, bumpy ride there (4 hours) so you get almost no time in Luxor. ...

The 21 bus convoy to Luxor went without a hitch. We had plenty of time to visit both the tombs and Karnak. Since Egypt had this political situation going on, no other buses were there and we were able to enjoy everything even more without the crowds. Time was just right for it all 14 hours. ...

This was actually SHARM EL SHEIK. I scuba dive'd there so didn't take a shore excursion. We were able to dock instead of tender so it made everything much easier and timely in visiting the port. Really not much there other than resort enjoyment. ...

There is only one reason to dock in Safaga that is to visit the Valley of the Kings/Luxor. It's a long day but worth it. The port itself is a real dirty old dive and that's being nice about it. There is no way you would venture off the ship unless you had a tour booked. ...

We have no experience to share regarding this port as all we did was get off the ship and onto a bus for the tour to Luxor and the Valley of the Kings. ...

We tendered in to just look around the port, I had read on this website that there wasn't much to do…They were right. Unless you have an excursion, don't waste your time getting off. If you want to "shop" there are some local vendors with stands not far from where the tender docks. The "stores" and "casino" are about a 10 minute walk. ...
