Scarabee·DahabScarabee·DahabEgypt's busiest dive gateway: the coral-maze Giftun Islands, a cemetery of four legendary wrecks, and the country's main liveaboard port — everything from a first dive to the deep Rosalie Moller.
Each site gets its own map and full briefing (in production). Depths and levels below.
A protected island group of coral pinnacles, gardens and gentle walls teeming with anthias, morays, turtles and reef sharks — the heart of Hurghada day-diving, beautiful for every level.
Four ships wrecked on one reef: the Giannis D (broken and photogenic), the Carnatic (1869, wine-bottle cargo), the Chrisoula K ("Tile Wreck") and the Kimon M ("Lentil Wreck"). The Red Sea's greatest concentration of diveable wrecks.
Carless Reef's twin pinnacles pull in moray eels and pelagic action in mild current; El Fanadir is a long, easy drift wall close to shore — a favourite gentle day.
Coral heads swarming with glassfish and reef life, drift and pinnacle diving that earns its nickname — one of Hurghada's most rewarding all-round sites.
The Thistlegorm's lesser-known sister ship, intact and upright in deeper water — a serious deep or technical wreck for experienced divers, wrapped in glassfish and grouper.
Quad and 4x4 desert safaris, Bedouin dinners, dolphin-house snorkel trips and Orange Bay island days.
Hurghada is the closest Red Sea base to the Nile — a full-day Luxor add-on: Karnak, the Valley of the Kings, and back by night.
The main departure port (Thursdays) for the North & Wrecks and Brothers–Daedalus–Elphinstone routes.
Mostly German, Russian and Italian divers — big resorts and dive-focused hotels.
