Shore Excursion from Safaga Port

Dolphin Show, Photo Session and Semi-Submarine at Makadi Bay

A family-friendly day of marine encounters, underwater views, and traditional lunch in Makadi Bay


This Makadi Bay dolphin excursion offers cruise passengers a well-rounded shore day combining a live dolphin and walrus show, a guided photo session in the pool, a glass-bottom semi-submarine ride, and a Bedouin-style lunch — all within a comfortable six-hour itinerary departing from Safaga Port.

The excursion is designed for guests who want to make the most of a port day without physical demands. Pick-up is arranged directly at the port gate, and all transfers are handled throughout the day, leaving you free to focus on the experiences ahead.

Dolphin World at Makadi Bay is a well-established facility where trained dolphins and walruses perform in a dedicated show arena. Following the performance, professional trainers lead guests through a poolside photo session, producing a set of printed photographs that serve as a tangible keepsake from the interaction.

The semi-submarine segment rounds out the marine theme by allowing guests to observe reef fish and underwater scenery through large viewing windows at sea level — no swimming ability or snorkeling equipment required.
