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.

It couldn't have been better
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.

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!.

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

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.
