​The Ultimate Red Sea Combination

​Best of Hurghada & Safaga

10 Days / 9 Nights • 2 Oceans of Adventure in One Safari

Why choose between the world-famous wrecks of the north and the dramatic, deep walls of the south? This ultimate 10-day liveaboard itinerary brings you the absolute best of both worlds.

By spending 5 days exploring the vibrant reefs and historic wrecks of Hurghada and 5 days diving the pristine, current-swept marine parks of Safaga, you experience the full diversity of the Red Sea.

Why This Itinerary is Unique

In the middle of our journey (Day 5), we return briefly to the marina after our third dive. This allows us to restock the boat with fresh vegetables, fruits, and premium food, ensuring the second half of your trip is just as luxurious and delicious as the first. Enjoy a relaxed evening at the harbor, chill on board, or head ashore for local exploration.

Weather and group experience dictate our path. We can seamlessly start with either the Hurghada routes or the Safaga routes to ensure you get the absolute best, safest, and most anti-cyclical diving conditions possible.


The Best of Hurghada

Immerse yourself in rich history and teeming marine ecosystems. We navigate the northern reaches to visit iconic sites:

  • The Wrecks of Shaab Abu Nuhas: The ultimate ship graveyard featuring the Giannis D, The Carnatic, Chrisoula K, and Kimon M.
  • Shaab El Erg (Dolphin House): A beautiful horseshoe reef famous for its resident pod of wild bottlenose dolphins.
  • Giftun & Abu Ramada Islands: Stunning marine protected areas boasting rich coral gardens and vibrant drop-offs.
  • The Wreck of the Balena: A fantastic shallow macro dive packed with unique nudibranchs, pipefish, and juvenile marine life.
  • Pristine Reef Systems: Exploration of Umm Usk, Siyul Islands, Carless Reef, Umm Gamaar, and Shabrur Umm Gamaar.

The Best of Safaga

Prepare for deeper walls, dramatic drop-offs, and exhilarating blue-water encounters:

  • Panorama Reef: One of the largest and most spectacular reefs in Safaga, featuring vertical walls, massive gorgonian fans, and passing pelagics.
  • Middle Reef: A vast coral labyrinth featuring beautiful hard coral gardens and pristine caverns to explore.
  • Abu Kafan: A narrow, 300-meter-long reef wall plunging into the deep blue, known for strong currents and frequent reef shark sightings.
  • Tobia Arbaa (The Seven Pillars): A unique site where five massive coral pinnacles rise dramatically from a shallow sandy bottom, teeming with sweeping glassfish and macro life.
  • Ras Abu Soma: A stunning coral tongue offering a beautiful mix of steep drop-offs and a sandy plateau where eagle rays love to hunt.
  • The Salem Express Wreck: A deeply moving, massive civilian ship resting between 12 to 30 meters (visited strictly weather permitting).
