The northern Red Sea is a mesmerizing blend of natural beauty and historical significance. Stretching from the Straits of Tiran in the Gulf of Aqaba to Ras Mohamed at the tip of the Sinai Peninsula, this region is a diver’s paradise. The Straits of Tiran are known for their dramatic coral formations and swift currents that attract a wealth of pelagic life, including dolphins and various shark species. These narrow sea passages separate the Gulf of Aqaba from the Red Sea and feature iconic reefs like Jackson, Woodhouse, Thomas, and Gordon, each named after British cartographers.
Ras Mohamed National Park, Egypt’s first protected marine area, is a jewel of the Red Sea. It is celebrated for its vibrant coral gardens, diverse marine life, and spectacular dive sites like Shark Reef and Yolanda Reef. Here, divers encounter everything from schooling reef fish to larger predators such as tuna and grey reef sharks. The park’s shallow lagoons and sandy plateaus are also ideal for spotting macro critters and enjoying the colorful spectacle of soft and hard corals.
Beyond its underwater allure, the Red Sea region offers a taste of Egyptian hospitality and culture. Hurghada, the base for the Red Sea Aggressor II, is a bustling coastal town with a blend of modern amenities and local charm. The El Foly Marina, where the yacht is docked, is a lively area featuring shops, cafes, and restaurants, making it a perfect spot to unwind before or after your diving adventure.
The Red Sea Aggressor II redefines comfort and convenience for divers. This 138-foot (42-meter) yacht offers spacious accommodations for up to 22 guests, ensuring an intimate and relaxed experience. Each of the 11 staterooms is thoughtfully designed, featuring private en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning, and entertainment systems with a selection of over 400 movies and documentaries. Guests can choose from master staterooms with queen beds, deluxe staterooms with twin beds, or the luxurious suite, all equipped with porthole or window views to enjoy the surrounding seascape.
The Red Sea is not just about diving—it is a gateway to explore Egypt’s vibrant culture and history. From the warm, crystal-clear waters to the stunning desert landscapes framing the coastline, the Red Sea region offers a unique setting for exploration. Whether you’re drawn by the allure of vibrant coral reefs or the intrigue of sunken ships teeming with marine life, this adventure is one you’ll cherish for years to come.
Diving in the northern Red Sea is a journey through underwater history and thriving marine ecosystems. With up to 21 dives included in the 7-night itinerary, the adventure begins early Sunday morning and extends through Friday, offering divers ample time to explore this underwater wonderland. Sites like Abu Nuhas, known as the “Ship’s Graveyard,” boast four historic wrecks, each telling a unique story. From the cargo-laden remains of the SS Thistlegorm to the sunken beauty of the Giannis D, these wrecks are now vibrant artificial reefs teeming with marine life.
The dive sites in the Straits of Tiran and Ras Mohamed National Park are equally captivating. Tiran’s reefs are home to spectacular soft corals, schooling fish, and occasional sightings of whitetip and grey reef sharks. Ras Mohamed’s Shark Reef and Yolanda Reef offer dramatic wall dives and vibrant coral gardens, where large pelagics and colorful reef fish coexist in stunning harmony. Night dives add another layer of excitement, with opportunities to spot nocturnal creatures like squid and cuttlefish.
