Will I get wet on the semi-submarine tour?

No. The semi-submarine is a glass-walled vessel where you remain fully dry while viewing marine life through panoramic windows from inside the air-conditioned cabin.

Do I need to know how to swim or have diving certification?

Neither is required. The semi-submarine is a passive observation experience, and the Turkish bath is a land-based spa activity. No water skills are necessary.

What should I expect in a traditional Turkish bath?

A Turkish bath (hammam) typically involves exposure to heated rooms of increasing temperature, steam treatments, and often a scrub or massage service. Sessions last about 2 hours. You'll change into swimming attire in private facilities.

Is this tour suitable for children?

Yes. The semi-submarine is popular with families, as children enjoy the underwater views. The Turkish bath is also child-friendly, though very young children may find the heat intense; check age policies when booking.

What's included in the EUR 21 price?

The listed price typically covers the 2-hour semi-submarine cruise and 2-hour Turkish bath session. Confirm whether hotel transfers, meals, towels, and any spa treatments (scrub, massage) are included or cost extra when you book.

How long is the full experience, and what's the schedule?

The total duration is 6 hours, including hotel transfers. Usually, you'll spend 2 hours on the semi-submarine, then transition to the Turkish bath for another 2 hours, with the remainder allocated to transfers and changeover time.

Insider tips

★Arrive early at the submarine dock to secure window seats; the best vantage points fill quickly on busy days.
★Bring water and light snacks for the boat transfer; the semi-submarine tour itself doesn't include refreshments.
★The Turkish bath can feel intense if you're not accustomed to heat—start in cooler areas and progress gradually to avoid discomfort.
★Book for late afternoon submarine departures to catch the best underwater lighting and return to the bath during cooler evening hours.

Good to know

•Total duration is 6 hours including transfers; plan for 4–5 hours of actual activity time.
•The semi-submarine is wheelchair-accessible with assistance; the Turkish bath has limited mobility facilities—confirm ahead if you need specific accommodations.
•Wear swimwear under your clothes; bring a towel and waterproof bag for electronics during the submarine portion.
•Meeting point and pickup arrangements from your Hurghada hotel are typically included; verify your exact pickup time the day before.
•Photography is allowed on the semi-submarine but flash photography may disturb marine life; the Turkish bath usually has a separate photo policy.

Not bad but not great, the hot pool looking out over the valley we like but 90 minutes of pure calm only. Maybe can improve, little bit expensive.

our therapist Yusuf was brilliant and the hot pool looking out over the valley was the highlight, and fine even with my dodgy knee, and left absolutely glowing.

our therapist Elena was brilliant and the post-treatment tea was the highlight. Last day of the trip so it wasnt too busy. Miles ahead of a similar spa day we tried in hanoi, and good as a half-day option, and 90 minutes of pure calm. Would book again no question, loved it

our therapist Hana was nice enough, but the hot pool looking out over the valley felt a bit rushed honestly, and mid-week so it was quiet.
