As one of the natural wonders of the world, the Red Sea is unparalleled in its diversity of marine life, including some of the most beautiful coral reefs and dizzying drop offs in the world. This tour features ten pre-booked dives, with all your equipment hire included, and accommodation in a comfortable hotel close to the dive-centre in Hurghada. The dives on this tour are all boat based. Extension options are available to start and finish the tour in Cairo if required.
We begin this tour in Hurghada, where you are met at the airport, and then transferred to your hotel (we can also extend the tour to start & finish in Cairo if you wish, giving you the chance to see the pyramids & sphinx while you are in Egypt, or to fit in with your scheduled flights or another tour). Once you've settled in, we'll introduce you to the staff at the Dive Centre where you'll spend the next 5 days diving.
Our all-inclusive dive package covers all your diving (including equipment) and transfers to the diving sites. The diving in Hurghada is world class and you will have a guide to take you to some of the most exciting dive sites around Hurghada. Sites visited may include the Carless Reef, Island Reef and Dolphin Reef, along with many other of Hurghada's fantastic dive sites. The tour is based on two dives a day, though you may have the option of night diving as well. Extra dives (i.e. night dives) can be paid for locally at the dive centre.
If you haven't dived for over 6 months, then you will be required to do a Refresher Dive before starting the main dive package.

Hotel Gala Dinners
Many of Egypt's hotels and Nile cruise boats arrange a very special gala dinner with entertainment in the evening on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. Payment for these is often optional on Christmas Eve (24 Dec) but may be compulsory on New Year's Eve (31 Dec), whether you attend or not. Prices can range from around US$50 to over US$150 per person. Final decisions on prices and whether dinners are compulsory are made relatively close to the time. We aim to always select hotels that make their Gala Dinners optional, though this is is not always possible. Gala dinner prices are therefore not included in our prices above, but will be added to your booking if they become required. More information is available on request.
Seasonal prices for this tour are given below. We can also customise the itinerary to fit your personal requirements. Please contact us for details and prices.

This was a great trip and worth every penny. Our Egyptologist tour guide was 'Big Mo' which made all the difference. He was knowledgeable, kind, and hospitable. He made sure we had a solid introduction to each tour site and then was available for more detailed information if we wanted. Book a tour with 'Big Mo' if at all possible!

Excellent value—I purchased it initially on Groupon and Egypt Uncovered allowed us to make additions.

Excellent tour. From the moment we landed in Cairo until we left, we were well taken care of. We experienced so much of Egypt -- from temples and pyramids and tombs to a bonfire dinner and sing-a-long on an island. Our guide (Waleed) was exceptional. His love and knowledge of Egypt was evident throughout the tour. He helped Egypt come alive for us. We were very pleased with the tour.

With all we did and the amount of travel, I was shocked at how cost effective the tour company made it. You get your money's worth after you think about busses, felucca sailboat, overnight train, hotel rooms, and the amazing tour guide.
