You step from Cairo's rush into highway light and, after an hour or two, the Gulf of Suez opens into heat-hazed blue. The private, air‑conditioned transfer eases you through low scrub and limestone ridges; a yacht waits with a shaded deck and options — lounge at a hotel day‑use cabana or slip into the shallows from a private boat.
