Left High and Dry!
Didn't go... The time on my paperwork said an 8:30 am pickup. They supposedly came at 7:45 and waited till 8:00 and left without us. They said they tried to contact us on Whatsapp.... Just installed Whatsapp for our out of country trip for just the Egypt party invited by group leader. Don't know anything about this app and being contacted on it. Didn't know people can call people, etc. And it didn't say on the paperwork that if there is a change they would be contacting me on whatsapp. We were waiting by 8:30 and by 9:00 am called the number on my paperwork and was told that they tried contacting me on whatsapp and since I didn't respond and didn't show up they left without us. They said they would refund out money through Trip Advisor for being left high and dry. Please contact them and get your money, so I can get my money back. I have used Trip Advisor for our trips around the world and have never had anything like this happen to us. Plus the guy/driver was very rude who I spoke with!
Response from the operator: We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed, but we would like to clarify what actually happened for the benefit of future guests. Our driver arrived at the designated pickup point at 7:45 AM and waited until 8:00 AM. During this time, our team also attempted to contact you via the WhatsApp number provided with the booking, but unfortunately received no response. We understand that WhatsApp may have been unfamiliar to you, but it is the communication method used to coordinate hotel pickups and allow the driver to locate and contact guests upon arrival. We always strongly recommend keeping the provided phone number available and checking WhatsApp on the day of the tour. Unfortunately, after waiting and receiving no response, the driver had to continue with the scheduled tour. This was not a case of simply leaving guests behind without attempting to contact them. Regarding the refund, any refund for a missed tour booked through Tripadvisor/Viator must be processed through the platform according to their policies. We have already provided the relevant details to the platform. We are sorry that this experience did not meet your expectations, but we believe it is important that the circumstances are presented accurately and fairly.

Who is Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Allah Gate & Magic Lake best for?
+
It suits families and anyone who wants flexible plans best, based on its 5-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Is Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Allah Gate & Magic Lake good value?
+
It is fairly priced. It starts at $18, close to the $15 typical for similar experiences in Sharm el Sheikh.
How much does Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Allah Gate & Magic Lake cost?
+
Prices start at $18 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sharm el Sheikh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Allah Gate & Magic Lake take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sharm el Sheikh is not rushed.
Is Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Allah Gate & Magic Lake worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 94 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 774 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Sharm el Sheikh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Allah Gate & Magic Lake?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Allah Gate & Magic Lake suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Allah Gate & Magic Lake?
+
Around 271 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sharm el Sheikh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sharm el Sheikh and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Allah Gate & Magic Lake start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sharm el Sheikh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sharm el Sheikh?
+
On Outty we rank every Sharm el Sheikh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sharm El sheikh Safari ATV Quad with Camel Ride & hotel transfer, Sharm El-Sheikh: Ultimate ATV Quad, Stargazing & BBQ Dinner, Sharm El-Sheikh: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Magic Lake & Allah Gate. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sharm el Sheikh?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sharm el Sheikh?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
