We plan the route to get the most out of the trip based on current and latest forecast weather conditions. This route may change depending on changes in the weather. If there is anywhere you specifically would like us to visit on the safari please let us know when booking and we will do everything we can to make this possible.

Please let us know at least 2 weeks in advance of any specific requirements you have and our chef can plan ahead to create a delicious menu to meet your needs.

The WIFI and mobile connection is limited on the open sea. It will not be possible to stream movies but free wifi is provided to update social media, e-mails etc.

Guests must have their passports with them on the boat. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months after departure date from Egypt or you will not be allowed to enter the country. A tourist entry visa is also required to be allowed into Egypt.

It will make the process smoother if you have the 25USD in exact change on arrival. EU citizens do not need apply for a Visa in advance.

Diving in Egypt has the advantage of year-round dive excursions, but water temperatures differ across the year depending on the season. The whale shark season usually starts in late May and lasts until the end of June. Summer is also the best time to spot more sea creatures, as the plankton attracts manta rays and the sea turtles usually nest during warmer conditions. Winter usually offers better water visibility. The best windy season for kitesurfing is from March till end of October.

Egypt is a perfect destination with warm temperatures and crystal blue sky all year round. The weather varies between 20°C to 30°C depending on the season. The most considered coldest months are January & February.

The high windy season is from March until the end of October with windy statistics exceeding 70% of windy days in a year. The wind tends to blow stronger over the open sea than over tha land, so you can always expect 2-4 knots more then the average land statistics.
