Excellent discovery of the Red Sea from North to South!
A top experience for a discovery of the major sites of the Red Sea. A professional crew and supervision that made this trip not only interesting for the sites chosen and the diving moments but for the atmosphere on board the boat! To recommend with your eyes closed!

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.

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.

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.

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!.

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.
