From now on free WIFI Internet connection is available in Egypt to divers on both of our boats – M/Y Cassiopeia and M/Y Andromeda.

Internet connection has become a necessity these days, whether for work or entertainment or to be available for us during our holidays. In order to satisfy these demands, we have equipped both boats with WIFI internet connection. We are happy we were able to synchronise the technical advances of our age and the demand of guests for Internet connection in a way as not to present any additional expenses to the divers during the safaris.

Thanks to this improvement, divers onboard M/Y Cassiopeia and M/Y Andromeda can surf the Net free of charge on their notebooks or other devices with WLAN connection, starting in the summer of 2011. Today almost all portable computers and most smart phones are WIFI-enabled.

Free Internet connection gives divers the chance to follow their e-mails during their safari, to keep in touch with family and friends and to share their photos taken on the trips on their community pages before arriving home.

Of course, this is not mandatory , so those of you who wish to keep your holiday restful and free of any interruptions, you may leave your devices turned off.

There is a room onboard Cassiopeia and Andromeda, which is reminiscent of real Arabian cafes. The furnishings, the shishas which can be smoked right there, the coffee and tea served to the guests and the music, they all create true Egyptian ambiance.

The waterpipe is one of the oldest traditions of the Arabic world. Whether you call it hookah, shisha, sheesha, hubble-bubble or nargileh, it all points to the same delighful oriental smoking tool – the pleasantly bubbling and heavenly smelling waterpipe!

After a delightful day or if you just long for a nice rest, your body and soul find peace here. Oriental comfort, the smell of fresh coffee or the refreshing taste of a nice cup of tea takes you to the unforgettable place of the enchanted East.

This is a real special place in the middle of the sea, where you can enjoy your times of vacation having fun in such romantic environment and its decoration is authentic traditional one where the coloures rose, grey, dominate the eye and help you relax while you enjoy your sisha, chat with friends or even watch the spectacular belly dancers.

Whether you desire shade from the summer’s heat or fancy a cup of hot tea in the chill, you will find everything here!
