Highlights
The Ghazala Explorer liveaboard in Egypt is a modern 38 m (125-foot) motor yacht offering itineraries throughout the Red Sea. It can take up to 24 guests in 12 air-conditioned, ensuite cabins, including twin-bedded and double-bedded cabins and suites. English is the main language spoken onboard. German- and Spanish-speaking dive guides are also part of the team, so guidance in these languages may be available, but it can't be guaranteed on every departure, as it depends on which guides are assigned to each trip.
Ghazala Explorer has a spacious, bright indoor dining and lounge area for guests to enjoy prepared meals or relax with a drink. The sun deck offers seating areas, bean bags, and covered or open spaces for those who prefer the sun. A large dive deck at the rear stores dive equipment and provides plenty of space to get ready for dives, and the rear platform makes boarding and disembarking the tenders easier.
Ghazala Explorer liveaboard offers divers a wide choice of itineraries throughout the Red Sea, including favorites such as the Thistlegorm wreck, Abu Nuhas, Brothers, Ras Mohammed, Daedalus, Elphinstone, and St. John's. The Red Sea offers incredible marine diversity and healthy coral reefs; no matter which itinerary you choose, you'll be amazed by Egypt's underwater world.

Sensational! We will be back!
Thank you to the Ghazala Explorer team for an amazing liveaboard trip — we had an incredible time! Safety: First of all, safety on this boat is absolutely paramount. Safety drills and muster were conducted, and they have a huge first-aid kit in case you’ve forgotten or missed anything yourself. Dive Guides: A highly professional team. They even helped me with a faulty HP hose while we were in the marina. A big shout-out to Moustafa, Haithem and Hendy — we loved diving and socialising with you all! Every day, the guides ensured that everything was okay with your cabin, gear, food, etc. The dive briefs were very interesting and gave you the confidence to do unguided dives if you chose to. Another note: the dive courses are extremely reasonably priced if you want to level up your qualifications. Crew: So helpful! They do everything for you — helping you in and out of your gear, hanging your gear and keeping the boat spotless. The captain also took us out on snorkelling excursions, which was fantastic. And the interior crew — wow! Your cabin was spotless after every dive! The food was fantastic, and the chefs were wonderful. They also celebrate every occasion on the boat, which made it feel really special. The Boat: Every detail has been considered. There are so many charging areas — a dedicated one for batteries, another for cameras, and USB ports in the saloon. The dive deck is extremely well organised and has separate wash bins for your gear. They even put a wash solution in the wetsuit wash bin so that it smells nice! Every cabin has its own hanging area for towels on the dive deck, and the cabins have so much storage. If you’re sharing a cabin, you have equal amounts of storage in both the bathroom and cabin — I was genuinely impressed! Even the towels are labelled! They provide a dressing gown, a diving towel and bathroom towels. Diving: Stunning! I loved every single dive. Our highlights were the Thistlegorm and Giannis D, as well as our incredible encounter with dolphins while diving — followed by having the dolphins in our own cove for another hour of snorkelling! We also loved the night dives. There were so many creatures we hadn’t seen before. We will be back! And next time, it will be on board an Ocean Tribe boat. Many of the guests on our boat had been on the Explorer multiple times, and after our experience, we can absolutely see why! Thank you again to the entire Ghazala Explorer team for an unforgettable trip.

Very impressed and highly recommended
Very impressed with the size and cleanliness of cabins, we were in an upper deck cabin. Cleaners visited several times a day to clean bathroom, make beds etc. fresh linen and towels half way through week. Felt reassured with safety aspects as had excellent fire and emergency briefing and practice. Also this boat uses ENIOS safety devices for each diver to track missing divers- first time we have had this safety measure. Food was always fresh, plentiful and varied and they catered well for people with specific dietary requirements. The dive crew and guides were excellent , great detailed dive briefings and very helpful and attentive deck and zodiac crews. Everyone couldn’t do enough for you. Ocean Tribe manager came onboard at end of safari and asked for detailed feedback which we felt was a very personal touch he seemed genuinely interested in any info to help shape future trips. Would highly recommend and would use again.

Best boat on the red sea?!
This is our second Liveaboard with Ghazala Explorer and we did not regret it for 1 second. Everyone in our group agreed, this is the best ship on the Red Sea. Rooms were spacious, dive guides were great and funny (I especially enjoyed annoying Achmed), food was amazing, crew was extremely helpful in any way they could, especially helping on and off our diving gear, organisation is spot on, there is really nothing negative I can think of... We will definitely return for a 3th trip with Ghazala Explorer! Dimi & Stefan

Great itinerary on a nice boat with a lovely crew
Our cruise director Reda‘s dive briefings were the best and most extensive I‘ve ever experienced. Especially in preparation for the various wreck dives (including three dives at Thistlegorm, one of these as a night dive), his clear instructions, drawn maps of the most favourable path through the wrecks and photos of junctions and key points made it really easy to have relaxed and unguided dives. The food was delicious, there was even a designated dessert chef on board. All of the crew were dedicated to provide the guests a great experience, they were friendly and seemed quite happy with their profession. What sets Ghazala Explorer apart from most liveaboards in the red sea is their all inclusive approach: no hidden costs like „port fees“ or „fuel surcharges“, even Nitrox is included in the posted price. The only things to pay on board were alcoholic beverages, canned sodas and espresso capsules. That ist a very customer friendly pricing policy that truly deserves our support. This won‘t have been my last trip with this lovely crew on this great boat!
