Will definitely be returning
Very well organised. It was lovely to have two to three days of absolute solitude with no other boats or divers around. The whale shark(s), manta, turtles, and other marine life that we managed to encounter were an added plus. The guides were knowledgeable and professional. Crew was also always very helpful and friendly. I particularly enjoyed the towel art that welcomed me back from my first dive every morning

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.

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.

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.

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!.

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!
