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.

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

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.

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!.

Best boat in Red Sea

Diving in the south rout of the red sea in Alia was amaizing. The crew are kind and helpful. The quality of the boat is incredible, is a new boat with a lot of spaces, huge zodiacs and common spaces. We had the chance to see hamerhead sharks and manta rays. I will repeat again.
