Dive Spots
The long journey (flight + 2.5 hours by car9 pays off. The grounds are very well maintained and green. Lots of birds. There is a real espresso machine at the bar - TOP. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The cuisine has enough variety and both European and Egyptian dishes. The hotel reception is also always friendly and helpful.
The diving school is well equipped. They also try to help if something breaks or something else is needed. Friendliness is a top priority. Just like the hotel, everything is clean and well maintained. The house reef is basically beautiful, but unfortunately badly affected by coral death (Feb. 2024). There are still some beautiful spots, but I estimate that around 70-80% of the corals have died. The boat trips offered (even if there are only a few divers) are recommended, as these dive sites can otherwise only be seen on liveaboards. Some of them are also an international highlight! If you get seasick easily, watch out for a remedy, as the boat often sails across the waves, which is no fun. All in all, a vacation to relax, unwind and dive. I would consider 10 days to be optimal. The price/performance ratio is TOP!!!
IMPORTANT: Do not bring any drones to Egypt. These are already taken away at the airport and handed back at the departure for a fee.
