Scarabee·DahabEgypt's other coast: beneath Alexandria's harbour lie the columns, sphinxes and sunken royal quarter of the ancient city, plus WWII wrecks — a diving experience found nowhere else on earth.
Each site gets its own map, photo and dive profile (in production). Depths and levels below.
The submerged royal quarter of ancient Alexandria: columns, statues, sphinxes and the likely site of Cleopatra's palace on Antirhodos Island — diving directly through history. Visibility is lower than the Red Sea; a permit and guide are required.
Warships and merchant wrecks off the coast, encrusted and atmospheric — for experienced wreck divers seeking something completely different.
Further along the coast, wartime wrecks and reefs tied to one of history's great battlefields.
The Library of Alexandria, the Citadel of Qaitbay, catacombs and Greco-Roman ruins — a full cultural city break.
A once-in-a-lifetime archaeological dive, not a beach holiday.
Combine with the Pyramids, the Grand Egyptian Museum and a Nile cruise.
