The trip restored my interest and confidence in Red Sea diving; none of the crowds that characterise diving in Egyptian waters.
The trip was excellent, for the reasons outlined. Although Saudi is more difficult to get to than Egypt, it was definitely worth the extra effort

Hammerheads in Saudi
Amazing trip in South Saudi with silky sharks and hammerheads. Wherever you dive, walls or isolated reefs there's always a shark on the sight. The staff is super efficient and so so friendly and helpful as the guides that managed everything in a perfect way. Nitrox is available on each dive and two zodiac are always ready to reach the diving spots from the boat. The boat itself is very confortable, with plenty of space for the equipment and the cabin is very spacious and clean. Food is excellent and really a lot. On top of all that, we were the only boat around and definitely the only ones to reach the deep south of Farasand to explore new diving sites

Beautiful wall dives with no other boats in sight
I was allowed to bring my Junior diver kids (with a private guide) to make great dives together, which was greatly appreciated. However, the most interesting wildlife (e.g. sharks) was only at 30+ meters depth so really a diver should have Advanced certification to get the most out of this trip.
