Very nice 2 weeks tour in the whole Egyptian Red Sea
Diving was very good, especially 3 dives at Elphinestone, we were able to dive freely.Great tour.Perfect crew, kitchen, Zodiac Guys.The only drawback, the Internet connection. Starlink Internet was offered in the tender, but it was only available via Sim card, that only worked on the first day, then no more.

- We were able to dive freely without a guide. Great route and dive site choice. Very comfortable boat and large Zodiacs with ladder.

Best boat in Red Sea
Diving in the south rout of the red sea in Alia was amaizing. The crew are kind and helpful. The quality of the boat is incredible, is a new boat with a lot of spaces, huge zodiacs and common spaces. We had the chance to see hamerhead sharks and manta rays. I will repeat again.

Two weeks of vitamine Sea!
Wow, what a trip! Spending two unforgettable weeks diving in the Red Sea was nothing short of incredible. We explored legendary wrecks up north and visited the famous trio of shark hotspots—The Brothers, Daedalus, and Elphinstone—all in one epic itinerary. But it didn't stop there; diving at St. Johns, Zabargad, and Rocky Island made sure every day was filled with spectacular underwater adventures and breathtaking encounters. What truly set this journey apart was the exceptional crew and our amazingly cool dive guides. Their enthusiasm, skill, and deep knowledge of each dive site made every moment underwater not just safe, but truly special. They transformed good dives into extraordinary experiences we won't soon forget. And let's talk food—this wasn't your standard liveaboard fare! With a dedicated kitchen team serving sumptuous three-course meals for both lunch and dinner, complete with a talented pastry chef crafting fresh desserts daily, we enjoyed culinary delights worthy of a fine dining restaurant. Every meal was a delightful surprise that kept us eagerly anticipating the next. As if that wasn't enough, having a crew member who previously honed his bartending skills at one of Egypt's top hotels ensured every happy hour was vibrant, refreshing, and perfectly crafted. It truly brought us together each evening, adding an extra layer of joy and camaraderie to our already unforgettable days. This wasn't just a dive trip—it was a dream vacation. Thanks to the wonderful crew, outstanding dive sites, gourmet meals, and amazing atmosphere, this journey in the Red Sea was genuinely one of the best experiences we've ever had.

Perfect liveaboard with the Alia
So far the best of all (also very good) liveaboards. Very large, spacious boat with an attentive, friendly and helpful crew ( Thanks to Mostapha Ibrahim and the whole Crew)Competent dive guides (Reda and Noelie) who always discuss the safety of the group and the reefs.Three Tg at Elphinstone with whale sharks in two of them.However, you should note that the "Alia" is a ship of a French company (Dune), i.e. certain English and/or French language skills are a great advantage.
