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.

Excellent experience on the Red Sea
It was amazing to see the Red Sea and dive there. The boat was well set up and comfortable. There was plenty of space and the cabin was roomy. The staff on the boat were more like friends and really know what they are doing. I always felt safe and comfortable. As a dive professional myself I’m always thrilled to see safety measures that go above and beyond. One example would be the encouragement of safety stops even when not necessary according to the ERDP.

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.

Perfect liveaboard with the Alia
So far the best of all (also very good) liveaboards. Very large, spacious boat with an attentive, friendly and helpful crew ( Thanks to Mostapha Ibrahim and the whole Crew)Competent dive guides (Reda and Noelie) who always discuss the safety of the group and the reefs.Three Tg at Elphinstone with whale sharks in two of them.However, you should note that the "Alia" is a ship of a French company (Dune), i.e. certain English and/or French language skills are a great advantage.
