Location Tips & Trips

• Salah El Din Castle Sunset Trip

 Salah El Din Castle has a significant strategic and historical importance, as it is located near the borders of four countries: Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Israel. 
The citadel was well defended against attacks with a high outer wall that surrounds it with a number of monitoring towers and the inner walls of the citadel itself.  There is a crucible to manufacture weapons, a conference hall for the rulers to plan how to defend Egypt against any attacks, housing for soldiers, an oven to bake bread, storage rooms, a water reservoir and a mosque that was built by Amir Hossam El Dine Bagel. The citadel was built with granite rocks that were taken from the Pharos Island.
Saladin was successful in choosing the location of his citadel on top of two high hills with a narrow valley between them which made it very difficult to attack.

• Dolphin Reef

The Dolphin Reef in Eilat, on the shores of the Red Sea offers a magical and unique opportunity to observe and swim alongside some of nature’s most magnificent sea creatures.  The Reef is home to a colourful array of tropical fish, beautiful coral and, most significantly, a school of bottle-nosed dolphins including babies born on the site.  It was established over twenty years ago with the vision of bringing humans closer to animals in a sensitive and respectful way.  The dolphins are not kept captive. They live in their natural habitat and have free access to the open sea, should they choose to leave. Human intervention in their lifestyle is minimised solely to the prevention of endangerment to their existence.
The Reef’s floating piers and observation points allow visitors to watch the dolphins as they maintain their daily routine – play, hunt for food, mate and care for their younger ones.  Alternatively, for a more intimate encounter with these friendly and playful creatures, there is the option of guided scuba diving and snorkelling
.  
Scuba diving is available to any confident swimmer aged between 8 – 88 years old.  Previous experience is not required.  A session lasts for one hour:  Half of this time is devoted to fitting the scuba diving gear, signing the medical statement, and listening to a briefing; the other half is spent in the water with a personal instructor whereby divers will descend to a maximum depth of 6 meters.
Snorkelling is available to any confident swimmer aged between 10 – 88 years old.  A session lasts for one hour:  Half of the time is devoted to fitting the equipment, signing the medical statement and listening to a briefing; the other half is spent in the water in groups of up to three persons and a guide swimming out not far from the shore but to deep waters of a depth of 14 meters.
Also on site at the Dolphin Reef are the relaxation water pools, a restaurant and beach bar, an art & crafts Creativity Corner and an auditorium showing films about the dolphins.
