Egypt Safari (North: Straits of Tiran and Best Wrecks)

DIVE - EAT - SLEEP - REPEAT This tour is dedicated to the most spectacular classics in the northern Red Sea: Part 1: Strait of Tiran The Strait of Tiran is home to many good dive sites such as Gordon Reef. A sand plateau lies on the reef, which is overgrown with many beautiful corals and is home to a large number of small and large fish. Thomas Reef also offers a fascinating underwater world. A spectacular canyon and the magnificent coral landscape on the steep wall make for a great dive. Woodhouse Reef, where drift dives are mainly carried out, offers great opportunities to encounter large fish and turtles. The canyon on the east side of the reef is particularly worth seeing. The northernmost reef in the chain is Jackson Reef, which impresses with its steep wall to the east and its magnificent coral landscapes. Large fish and turtles are frequently spotted here. Part 2: Ras Mohamed Ras Mohammed has the greatest diversity of marine life in the Sinai. Large schools of fish can be observed, especially at the southern tip of the headland. The Shark Reef, Anemone City and Yolanda Reef dive sites in Ras Mohammed National Park are a delight. At Anemone City, you cross a whole field of anemones before heading into the blue water past large shoals of barracuda, mackerel and tuna to the coral walls of Shark Reef. From there, Yolanda Reef is not far away, the attraction here being the coral garden and the wreck of the freighter of the same name that sank in 1980. Soft corals colonize the last cargo - bathtubs, washbasins and toilet bowls. In the summer months, the variety of fish on these reefs is particularly high. Schools of snappers, barracudas and batfish can be found here. The Shark Observatory is another impressive diving spot in Ras Mohammed National Park. The reef scores points here with caves, crevices and the wonderfully overgrown steep wall. Schools of tuna, mackerel and barracudas are almost certain to be seen, and with a bit of luck you may also encounter sharks. 3rd part: Thistlegorm The Thistlegorm is currently probably the most famous wreck in the Red Sea. The 126 m long British military freighter from the Second World War was shot in two by a German Heinkel He 111 fighter bomber on October 6, 1941 with two torpedoes that hit the ammunition chamber and sank on the spot. The main part of the ship lies on an even keel at a depth of 30 meters on a sandy bottom, the bridge rises up to 17 meters. The forward section in particular is well preserved; the railroad cars loaded as deck cargo are still in their original position. In the two front holds, which are easily accessible through the open hatches, there are numerous motorcycles and trucks, among other things. The stern has been blown off and lies on the ground at an angle of around 45 degrees. It is badly damaged by the bomb hit and the subsequent explosions, but still carries the anti-aircraft gun and another gun with a protective shield. In the debris field between the two parts of the ship lie the remains of Bedford trucks, small Bren Gun Carrier armored personnel carriers and shells of all sizes. Nearby, a damaged steam locomotive stands on the seabed. Like the wagons, it was part of the deck cargo and was flung away from the ship by the explosions. The Thistlegorm is also an impressive biotope with numerous different species of fish; for example, whole schools of large batfish can often be observed. Part 4: Sha'b Abu Nuhas Shaʿb Abu Nuhas ("Reef of the Father of Copper") is a reef located in the north of the Red Sea. It is located in the Gulf of Suez in the Strait of Gubal off Hurghada and El Gouna. The reef is located around five kilometers north of Shadwan Island and protrudes into the busy Strait of Gubal, making it a dangerous obstacle to shipping. Sha'b Abu Nuhas is considered the last hurdle for ships on their way from the Suez Canal to the open sea. As the coral extends to just below the water surface but does not break through it, the reef is difficult to see, especially when the sea is calm and the sun is low or it is dark. Due to the many shipwrecks and the unique underwater world of the Red Sea, this reef is very popular with scuba divers. The reef itself has beautiful stony coral formations. The wrecks, which lie at moderate depths, are heavily overgrown with stone, leather and soft corals and have developed into artificial reefs. They also provide shelter for numerous fish and other marine animals.
