Itinerary Overview

North & Wrecks

North and Wrecks This is the classic Red Sea itinerary. To the North of Hurghada, the Red Sea splits into two arms embracing the Sinai Peninsula, the Gulf of Suez, and the Gulf of Aqaba. The Mediterranean is connected to the Red Sea via the man-made Suez Canal that opens to the very busy strait of Gubal, east of Hurghada. The straits of Gubal, being laden with reefs, is consequently the resting place of many shipwrecks.

North & Tiran

Similar to the Northern & Ras Mohamed itinerary, the Strait of Tiran and North cruise allows you to take in some of the most notorious wrecks and reefs the Red Sea has to offer as well as the pristine coral reefs of Tiran. The Tiran dive area is found in the entrance to the Gulf of Aqaba and is made up of four main reefs that form the top of an underwater bridge.

North & Brothers

This is a fascinating combination of the wrecks of the North and The Brothers. A divers dream come true.

To the north of Hurghada, the Red Sea splits in two arms embracing the Sinai, the Gulf of Suez, and the Gulf of Aquaba. The Mediterranean is connected to the Red Sea via the man-made Suez Channel that opens into the busy strait of Gubal, east of Hurghada.

Brother Island

A great all-around tour for divers with slightly more experience; this safari offers challenging dives, big drop-offs, beautiful coral walls, and plenty of large fish. There is so much to see you are spoilt for choice but dont forget to keep an eye out in the blue. Brother Islands is a must for all die-hard Red Sea divers!
