Diving Holiday in Hurghada – 8 Days / 7 Nights

After breakfast, meet your transfer at the hotel lobby 08:15. A short drive takes you to the marina where your dive boat departs around 09:00. The journey to Small Giftun is scenic, with turquoise water stretching to the horizon. Below the surface, expect vivid coral walls, swim-throughs, and possible sightings of turtles or dolphins. Enjoy two guided dives with a break for a freshly prepared lunch on deck. Return to the hotel by late afternoon for sunset views and a relaxed dinner.

A diver’s favourite for its abundance of fish, Abu Ramada offers vibrant reefs and sandy patches that attract parrotfish, angelfish, moray eels, and sometimes stingrays. With excellent visibility, this is the perfect site for photography and for spotting intricate details in the coral. Between dives, bask in the sun on the boat’s upper deck. Back ashore by 17:00, you might explore Hurghada’s marina promenade before dinner.

Today’s dives explore Erg Sabina’s mix of coral gardens, sandy flats, and reef towers. Larger pelagic fish — barracuda, tuna — sometimes cruise past. The healthy coral here creates a kaleidoscope of colour, and curious reef fish often swim right up to your mask. Warm, clear water makes for a relaxed and rewarding day. Evening is free for a stroll on the beach or enjoying the resort’s evening entertainment.

Sail towards Big Giftun Island, known for steep reef walls and vast schools of tropical fish. Keep your eyes open for playful dolphins alongside the boat. Between dives, enjoy the sunshine and Red Sea breeze. The variety of terrain means you may explore a wall in the morning and a shallower reef in the afternoon. Back at the resort, perhaps indulge in a spa treatment before dinner.

Your final dive day takes you to Fanous, offering walls, coral gardens, and lively reefs home to barracuda, rays, turtles, and countless reef fish. The healthy coral provides a perfect farewell to the Red Sea’s underwater world. After returning mid-afternoon, spend your evening swapping dive stories over dinner or join an optional night dive (pre-arranged, extra cost).

With the 24-hour no-dive rule before flying, today is about land-based fun. Join a guided quad bike safari through golden desert dunes, take an optional full-day trip to Luxor to see the Valley of the Kings and Karnak Temple, or simply relax on the resort’s beach with a book. Souvenir shopping in Hurghada’s bazaar is another favourite.

Enjoy your final breakfast with a sea view before your transfer back to Hurghada Airport. Depart with a logbook full of memorable dives and the warmth of Egyptian hospitality fresh in your heart.
