Very nice 2 weeks tour in the whole Egyptian Red Sea
Diving was very good, especially 3 dives at Elphinestone, we were able to dive freely.Great tour.Perfect crew, kitchen, Zodiac Guys.The only drawback, the Internet connection. Starlink Internet was offered in the tender, but it was only available via Sim card, that only worked on the first day, then no more.

- We were able to dive freely without a guide. Great route and dive site choice. Very comfortable boat and large Zodiacs with ladder.

One of the best liveaboard trip in 30 years of diving.
A very French boat. Concerns in the beginning. As it turned out, only French divers except for us. And what a friendly group it turned out to be. Great crew. Exceptional guides. Superb food.

Fantastic trip with Alia - awesome boat, crew and diving!
We spent a week diving with Alia, which was much better than we could have ever hoped for! From the boat itself, which was very spacious inside and outside, to the crew, who was so friendly and easy-going. We made the trip to St John's Reef, and the dive sites were also much more interesting than we had imagined - the cave diving is fantastic (and not too technically difficult!), coral gardens and reef were so beautiful and we even had 2x whale sharks at Elphinstone (which wasn't on the itinerary but managed to go regardless), a manta ray, 3x turtles, some barracudas and too-many-to-count moray eels.
- Recommended for
- Unexpected trip to Elphinstone (that gave us 2x whale shark sightings). Awesome, friendly crew from dive guides to the pastry chef (yes, there's a pastry chef!). Very spacious boat, both inside and outside. The dive platform is fantastic!.

Dreamlike safari
An all-round perfect trip with the Alia. A well-rehearsed team takes care of all matters. All wishes are tried to be fulfilled. The food was very varied and always delicious.We were on the BDE tour and saw everything you can see. Starting with gray sharks, thresher sharks, hammerhead sharks and not forgetting the Longimanus.

It couldn't have been better
The 2-week N-S tour is unique, from Dahab to St. Johns.Crew and guides, I'm going to kick you out of the way... until he returns.The boat is perfect, unbeatable, because of the zodiacs, the food, large beds, resting places... the best I've ever been to.I repeat for sure.
