Pre or post-add-ons: Plus, if you’re already in Egypt, why not visit Cairo, Alexandria, and Luxor or enjoy a cruise on the Nile River? We’ve created multiple must-do trip extensions to help you discover the wonders of ancient Egypt, above and below the waterline.
Dive into the technicolor world of the Red Sea. The Red Sea in Egypt is one of the planet’s most exotic and captivating natural environments. There are few places in the world where you’ll find such a diverse array of radiant corals, schooling pelagics, and plentiful marine life along with topside extensions to sites that date to antiquity – it is little wonder that divers refer to scuba diving in the Red Sea as legendary. “Empty Nesters” are so grateful that Explorer Ventures offered this rare and unique adventure in 2025. We also partner with Explorer Ventures for Palau adventure and Galapagos trips in 2025 and 2026. See the Red Sea video
In the Northern part of the Red Sea, the Ras Mohammed National Park is situated at the confluence of waters from the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba. This mix results in a wide range of coral and fish life diversity. Its best-known dive sites include Shark Reef and Yolanda Reef, two enormous pinnacles rising from the depths and home to grey reef sharks, tunas, barracudas, snappers, and hammerhead sharks. You’ll also see many sting rays, moray eels, scorpionfish, and dozens of toilets, which were the cargo of the Yolanda wreck.
The SS Thistlegorm wreck is undoubtedly the most famous in Egypt, with its WWII motorcycles and jeeps still in the same position they were when this ship was bombed by German airplanes. This beautiful wreck can be dived several times to discover all its compartments and cargo.

Abu Nuhas is a shallow reef that has caused more boats to sink than anywhere else in the Red Sea. There are currently several wrecks beneath the surface: the Giannis D, the Chrisoula K, the Kimon K, and some leftovers of the Carnatic, which sank in September 1869. They are now part of the marine world and are covered by soft corals, sponges, and hydroids.
Brothers Islands, Daedelus Reef, and Elphinstone Reef are unequaled. Part of the Marine Park, these dive locales show you the best of the best. Explore breathtaking underwater scenery, walls boasting huge pristine complex coral formations, and sheer drop-offs covered with soft corals, and experience a frequent rush hour of pelagics. Sightings of thresher sharks, whale sharks, schooling tuna, mantas, grey reef sharks, oceanic whitetips, and schooling hammerheads are common. On occasion, spectacular moonfish have also been spotted. The vessel’s experienced captain and dive guides will escort you to these remote and unspoiled reefs, where your senses will be happily overwhelmed.
