You will spend your time relaxing indoors in the air conditioned saloon and dining area where you can enjoy TV, video and music system, and help yourself to snacks, soft drinks, drinking water, tea and coffee at any time. Otherwise you can stretch out on the liveaboard's sundeck, either soaking up the warm Egyptian sunshine or in the cool of the shade with a good book. The kitchen staff prepare delicious, mouth-watering meals: if you have special requests, such as a vegetarian diet, just let us know and they will gladly prepare something special for you.
There are 5 air conditioned cabins of which the 2 cabins have private ensuite facilities, and 3 cabins share 2 bathrooms. King Snefro 5 offers a fun liveaboard diving trip around the Northern Red Sea in small groups which makes it a great choice for a whole boat charter to dive around the Sinai Peninsula.
