I look back on a fantastic week.
My 15th liveaboard and by far the best. The welcome was warm, the crew is extremely helpful and friendly. The dives are well briefed and supervised. Those who wanted to could dive unaccompanied. Always felt safe. Even though I had done this tour 4 times, they still showed other reefs. The boat was quite comfortable and neat. It is also nice that there are plenty of sunbeds in the sun so that you can warm up between dives now that it was a bit colder season. Wide range of decent towels and bathrobe when you get out of the water and stand in the wind. After the dive, the crew was ready to help you take off your wetsuit, they rinsed it for you and hung it up which is nice when you are shivering from the cold. The food was tasty and varied. There was also always a fruit basket that was replenished daily. A big plus was the coffee machine with delicious coffee that is included. That also brings me to the fact that there are no hidden costs.

It was incredibly beautiful, best liveaboard I ever been
The whole trip as a package was incredibly extraordinary, it exceeded all my expectations. The crew was very friendly and helped us every minute during the trip. Dive guides were just amazing by choosing the right sites, and giving us advanced divers the freedom to enjoy the dive sites unguided. Diving was suberb, lots of colorful corals with a beautiful reef life, and nice wrecks, and my personal highlight with multiple dolphin encounters. Have been on many livaboard, this one was the best so far, therefore can only recommend it. Thanks for the whole Ghazala Team

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!

Great stay in the North Red Sea!
A pleasant, smiling and professional crew, taking care of us to make sure we had an excellent stay in the Red Sea.The food was plentiful and excellent throughout the week, with a perfect mix of Egyptian and international food. The boat is very well maintained, and safety is well ensured during the dives: safety first!Very nice dives in the North of the Red Sea with the incredible Thistlegorm, the Giannis and to finish a superb encounter with a school of more than 10 dolphins. Can't wait to come back to do the BDE South Route!

Exceeded Every Expectation ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was our first livaboard and first time in the Red Sea. Every expectation we had was greatly exceeded. I cannot stress enough how wonderful, helpful, and friendly the entire crew was. The dive guides (Ahmed, Moussa, Khalil) were very knowledgeable and made all our dives enjoyable and low stress. They were so good at finding the hard to spot marine life! The sea men on the dive deck were incredible - they helped with every aspect of the pre and post dive (getting wet suits and BCDs on and off, getting out of the water, in and out of fins, etc). They were all so friendly and made the atmosphere fun and laid back. The food at every meal was incredible and plentiful. The chefs and pastry chef work tirelessly to give you a delicious meal every time. One of my favorite little details: After every dive before you even get your wetsuit off, you are handed a hot beverage which was such a nice touch. Of course the diving itself was beautiful. The reefs are so healthy; the visibility spectacular. We went to many different wrecks, saw lots of marine life, and it was a great blend of easy and more challenging dives, deep and shallow, wrecks and reefs. We would absolutely do this livaboard again.

Amazing dive trip, would recommend again and again :)
Many of the guests actually were on the boat a second or third time as they loved it so much which I completely understand. I will rebook the Ghazala Explorer as well when I want to return to the Red Sea as it was an amazing trip. The dive locations were just brilliant combined with a super friendly crew and the high level of comfort of the boat overall (from cabin to lounge to sun deck to diving deck) created a great dive trip.
