ARE YOU READY FOR SOMETHING EPIC?  A 'ONE AND DONE'?  TRULY THE BEST OF RED SEA DIVING AND LAND??

 

  • THEY SAID IT COULDN'T BE DONE...
  • THEY SAID YOU COULDN'T COMBINE THE BEST OF THE NORTHERN ITINERARY AND THE BEST OF THE SOUTHERN and EASTERN ITINERARY INTO ONE... IN OTHER WORDS... the BEST OF RED SEA COMBO EXTRAVAGANZA...

 

BUT WE'VE DONE IT!!!

 

Come see the Best of the Red Sea... with diving in the South, East AND the North in a special SingleDivers.com only customized 11 day trip to include:

And then you move to the north where you'll have plenty of time in the north to see all the shipwrecks there including the iconic Thistlegorm.

 

Seeing is believing... check it out HERE!

 

After a fabulous Southern Itinerary trip in 2021 (for the 4th time) we did our fifth trip but first Northern Itinerary to see the exquisite Reefs and Wrecks in 2022. And now we will return for our 6th trip to the Red Sea ... to do a specially created exclusively for us COMBO TRIP TO INCLUDE NORTHERN, SOUTHERN AND EASTERN ICONIC RED SEA SITES!

Please add me to the notify list for the diving. I've already been to Cairo but not Luxor and/or Hurghada. I not may do the land tours for those two cities, depending on how the dates work out (if Cairo will be visited first, for example).

Yes typically Cairo is first if doing the extended tours... We will be setting up the full itinernary in a few months so I'll know more how we will structure it. AWESOME to have you wanting to join us

I need to fix the 'after part' we usually do the touring first and then end with diving for a variety of reasons one being the weather. The heat will get hotter so we will end up in the water during the hottest part of the trip. So we are not planning any touring after the trip ...just before for 3-10 days depending on the way the options shake out.

 

And we will offer a couple of days quicky tour options for those just doing the diving so you get some buffer days to avoid missing the boat.
