A
cruise to remember…
Have you ever wanted to explore Egypt,
the land of endless sun and ancient history? Why not do so on a cruise?
Consider the Egyptian Magic cruise …
1 …The Egyptian Magic cruise ship has a
fantastic variety of facilities available. For example, there is not one, but
five restaurants. Have lunch in our top-quality restaurant or enjoy a snack at
one of our cafés. The choice is yours!
2…There’s always something to do on the
ship. A whole floor of basketball and tennis courts keeps exercise lovers
happy. There’s a modern gym and two large
swimming pools too.
3…For those who want a more relaxing
holiday, there’s a beauty salon and spa on the 4th deck. Lie down, relax, and
enjoy a back or foot massage from our top beauty professionals.
4…In the evening, the fun continues late
into the night! The ship has got a cinema, a small theatre, and a disco with
live music. Watch the latest films, a play, or dance the night away!
5…Our first stop is Port Said. From here we
travel to Cairo, to visit Egypt’s most famous monuments – the pyramids. The
pyramids are over 4500 years old. Seeing them is an incredible experience.
6..The next stop is Safaga. Here it’s time
for a desert adventure. Spend a day riding a quad bike across the golden sands
of the Egyptian desert. Stop for tea with a Bedouin tribe before you speed back
across the dunes!
7…Before we leave Safaga, there is time to
visit a busy local market. Egypt has always been famous for gold, and here is a
great place to buy some beautiful gold
jewellery. You can also buy
lovely silver dishes. They make great souvenirs!
8…Our last stop is the seaside city of Sharm
El Sheikh. With it’s warm blue sea and bright coral reefs, this is a great
place for scuba diving. Dive down into a sea
world more exotic and
colourful than you could possibly imagine!
