The two days cruise, is programmed on a regular basis and usually start on Saturday morning from the port of Massawa to return Sunday in the afternoon. This option is suggested to those who have a limited budget both in monetary terms that time: a tiny taste of Dahlak spell.
If you have greater availability of time and you are a pre-constituted group, we recommend a minimum of 4 days to have the time to visit with tranquillity some island and enjoy the beaches in relaxing.
If you have even more available time and you are adaptable to a stark trip, then the period of the cruise may depend only on the stocks of fresh water and ice of the dhow, usually the stocks are enough up to 8/9 days.
