Wreck diving Red Sea

Wrecks & Reefs Itinerary day-by-day:

This itinerary will only cover 2-3 stops and is very dependent on your wishes, of course. These stops offer something very different, and you'll not regret including these in your trip!

​

You can either enter Egypt via Caïro, Hurghada, or Marsa Alam. Depending on your port of entry you can either start in Hurghada or Marsa Alam.

​

First stop: Wadi Lahami.

Welcome to Egypt! Wadi Lahami is located just north of the border with Sudan and is pretty remote. I kept wondering why this place wasn't completely overrun by tourists since the diving is extraordinary!

When booking a stay in Wadi Lahami it's possible to also arrange a transfer to your accommodation, which I highly recommend. The drive from Marsa Alam is about 1.5 hours south, and you'll find yourself staying at the end of the world, seemingly.

​

You'll be staying in tents or a simple bungalow which is very comfortable and spacious, and diving will usually be in the morning and afternoon. Guides are optional here. If you are diving with a group, you can choose to be accompanied by a guide or go diving by yourself (buddy included of course).

​

The resort is all included, meaning, you will get 3 meals a day since stores and towns are quite far away.

​

I suggest staying here for at least 5 days.

​

Cave Swimthrough

Second Stop: Hurghada.

If you chose to go south first, you can quite easily arrange a transfer by car to Hurghada. This ride takes about 3 hours, and the resort can accommodate this.

​

You could choose to stay in Hurghada for a day or two, however, there isn't much to do besides sunbathing.

​

Now I can highly recommend booking a liveaboard from Hurghada! You could also opt for day trips from Hurghada however a liveaboard is a way to reach those remote diving sites and eventually will probably be cheaper since it's all-inclusive. There are numerous liveaboards with prices starting from $100,- per day per person, including 2-3 dives usually, food, and accommodation! Sound like a good deal to me!

These liveaboards usually take 8 days/ 7 nights and I couldn't recommend this more!
