The booking process
When you book the trip, we will begin booking hotels and arranging all the practical aspects of your tour. This process typically takes 5–8 working days, but in some cases it may take longer for certain bookings. If you arrange your own transportation, we recommend waiting until we have confirmed your booking before making any arrangements.

Dates
If you can select a date in the trip calendar (in the booking form), then this is a possible start date. We regularly update our trips with sold-out dates; these dates will then appear in red/grey and cannot be selected.

The flight to Hurghada is not included in the price of this tour. Keep in mind that once you book this tour, you should wait with booking the flight until you have had a confirmation email from us.

Once we have confirmed your holiday, you need to send us your flight details, so that we can arrange the airport-transfers.

On this holiday, you'll spend 7 nights at the 4-star Sultan Bey Hotel, beautifully situated beside the lagoon in the heart of El Gouna. Built in traditional Egyptian style, the hotel offers a charming, relaxed atmosphere with lush gardens, a swimming pool and access to a private beach by the lagoon.

You'll stay in a Lagoon Room, where all rooms have a private balcony overlooking the lagoon. The hotel is also within walking distance of the restaurants, cafés and shops in Downtown El Gouna. Your stay includes All Inclusive, covering meals and a selection of drinks.

Check-in is from 2:00 PM, and check-out is no later than 12:00 PM.

On this holiday, you'll stay at Sultan Bey Hotel with All Inclusive, meaning that breakfast, lunch, dinner and a selection of drinks are included in your stay.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served buffet-style in the hotel's main restaurant. Here you'll find a selection of both international dishes and local specialities. Breakfast is served from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM, lunch from 12:30 PM to 2:30 PM and dinner from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Snacks are also included as part of the hotel's All Inclusive concept.

On the four days when you're out diving, lunch on board the dive boat is included. You can therefore enjoy your lunch between the day's dives without having to worry about returning to the hotel in time for lunch.

All Inclusive covers a selection of local drinks, including soft drinks, juice, mineral water, tea, coffee, local beer, wine and spirits. Drinks are served by the glass and are included at designated restaurants and bars within the hotel during the hours when the All Inclusive service is available.

Good to know about All Inclusive
Although your stay includes All Inclusive, certain items are not included. These include drinks from the minibar in your room, imported beverages, cocktails and Turkish coffee. These must be paid for separately at the hotel.

Please also note that the hotel's All Inclusive package only applies within the hotel. Lunch on the dive boat is included as part of the diving programme, while any additional purchases on board must be paid for separately. Meals at the hotel that are not used cannot be refunded or exchanged for other meals.

Local specialities
Egyptian cuisine offers plenty of exciting flavours. Try koshari, a traditional dish made with rice, pasta, lentils and spiced tomato sauce, or kofta, which consists of seasoned, grilled meatballs. You can also look forward to falafel, hummus, freshly baked flatbread and a variety of mezze dishes. The selection varies from day to day, and not all local specialities will necessarily be available at the hotel's buffet.

It is possible to obtain a diving certification on this trip. In that case, it will be a 3–5 day PADI Open Water course. You will still have the same number of diving days, but the first days will be used for the certification.

If you want to take a diving certificate on your trip, you can opt for it when you book.

Here you can read our guide to diving certification.

The course is divided into three phases

• Theory - You learn the basic principles of diving
• Confined Water dives - You'll make your first dives in a safe environment (e.g. a swimming pool or shallow water). You'll be trained in basic techniques.
• Open Water dives - You'll make your first four dives in the ocean. Here you use the techniques you learnt in the previous confined water dives.

PADI E-Learning
We recommend completing the theory in advance through a PADI e-learning course. The e-learning is not included in the price and therefore comes at an additional cost. The e-learning course can be purchased directly on PADI’s website.

In order to take the diving licence, you must have completed this document. The rule is that if you can answer no to everything on page 1, you do not need to see a doctor. If you can answer yes to something, then you need to see a doctor and the doctor needs to complete and sign page 2.

Visas to Egypt are not included in the price of this trip. Visas are arranged at the airport, so make sure to bring € 30 per person for this.

Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months upon entry.

We can also arrange visas for you. If you want us to do this, you can opt-in on the booking form.

We recommend taking out travel insurance that covers at least illness, accident, repatriation, lost holiday, luggage and liability. As a customer, you are responsible for taking out the necessary travel insurance to cover these costs.

Before taking out insurance, you should check whether you are already covered by travel or cancellation insurance through your home insurance company, credit card or similar - please note that there may be differences in insurance coverage.

When you book a trip with us, we plant a tree in Kenya.

Bering Travel partners with Growing Trees Network, which has been planting trees in Kenya since 2020 in collaboration with Seniorer uden Grænser (Seniors Without Borders). The trees are planted with small-scale local farmers in the Mount Kenya region, as well as at schools, where the fruit helps supplement students’ diets and is incorporated into their learning.

The trees are planted using the shamba method – a sustainable approach that combines reforestation with agricultural crops. This keeps the soil covered with vegetation throughout the year, helping to prevent nutrient loss and reduce erosion.

The contribution to tree planting comes directly from Bering Travel’s own earnings and is not added to the price of your trip.

This initiative is not intended as a carbon offset for travel, but as a way to make a positive contribution.
