Dive Week Package - Safaga

Our Shore based tours

Our package tours with land based options are complete consideration and include flights and transfers as well as accommodation and diving.
In the southern Red Sea we offer several dive holiday resorts from El Quseir in the north to Hamata to the south. These facilities usually have their own private coral reefs and are ideal for divers who want to dive a lot and without much effort. No long boat trips, you have absolute world-class diving a bit out of the beach.

 

The journey
In the first place, we always choose the direct flight down to Marsa Alam Airport, whenever possible. From Stockhom / Arlanda Airport we fly during Autumn and Spring with direct flights to Marsa Alam. It also works quite smoothly to fly to Hurghada and then with scheduled car transfer to Marsa Alam or even further south. From Copenhagen and Gothenburg we often fly via Hurghada Airport. Transfer from Hurghada to Marsa Shagra takes approx. 4 hours.
