Places You'll Visit
The Blue Hole is a submarine sinkhole in a fringing reef a few kilometres north of Dahab on Egypt's Sinai coast, plunging past 100 metres deep. Its shallow rim offers accessible recreational diving and snorkeling, while a submerged passage called the Arch, its ceiling around 55 metres down, has drawn technical divers and is notorious for numerous diving fatalities.
The Coloured Canyon is a narrow sandstone gorge near Nuweiba in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, roughly 800 metres to several kilometres long with walls reaching up to 40 metres. Erosion by water over millions of years exposed banded layers of sandstone rich in iron oxide, producing streaks of red, orange, and gold that give the canyon its name.

Good day everyone! We went to Ras Mohammed and White Island. Huge thanks for the excursion. We're just thrilled, loved it so much. Muhammad is a professional both as a guide and as a diver. Huge respect to him for his professionalism. The crew on board was top level. I also want to thank the online managers, they replied fast, explained everything clearly and precisely. Recommend to everyone 👌 So glad we picked you. And the main thing — we couldn't find a better price anywhere, keep it up 👍
We're back from the Hula-Hula excursion. We loved everything, it matched the description and our expectations. Everything went beautifully, the boat was clean and lovely, a Russian-speaking escort, a friendly crew. Hula-Hula Beach is gorgeous for swimming, we didn't want to leave. We also loved the snorkeling stops, beautiful reefs. Lunch wasn't fancy, but it was enough for us. Thank you for the excursion.
