03 Jan 2009 Wendy, USA (Traveller): Snorkling or Diving.....Diver's Land is a great company out of Naama Bay. (Find them attached to Naama Inn on the main road where the taxi's line up at the Marina). Good prices, great staff (they are friendly but aren't out to pick up the foreign women!), and are concerned with safety and serving customers.

28 Nov 2008 Adam, USA (Traveller): Breakfast is included in the hostel rate, and dinner there costs 16 Egyptian pounds. El Masrien downtown serves cheap, tastier dishes, but write down what you eat; they tend to pad your bill with a few Egyptian pounds.
