Nearby, the Giannis D, a 100-meter-long cargo ship that went down in 1983, is an excellent site for novice divers, offering easy penetration into its accessible interior.

Continue to the Carnatic, an 1869 wreck that has transformed into a beautiful artificial reef. Covered in soft corals and home to an abundance of fish, this site is perfect for those who love vibrant marine ecosystems. Then, head to the famous Ras Mohamed National Park, where the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba converge, creating an explosion of marine biodiversity. Schools of snappers, barracudas, and reef sharks make this a truly mesmerizing dive site.

After diving, unwind in the laid-back town of Dahab, known for its relaxed atmosphere, colorful bazaars, and iconic dive sites like the Blue Hole and the Canyon. Whether exploring history-rich wrecks or enjoying Dahab’s unique charm, this northern Red Sea itinerary guarantees an unforgettable underwater adventure.
