North Safari

The North Safari departs from Hurghada and sails north giving you the opportunity to visit some of the most famous sites in the Red Sea including the Thistlegorm, Abu Nuhas, Duraven and Ras Mohamed National Park. The Thistlegorm is one the most famous wrecks in the Red Sea. This British ship sunk in October 1941 in a German bomber attack. Now the wreck is lying upright in about 30 metres of water perfect for recreational diving.

Abu Nuhas is famous for its wrecks. There are 4 wrecks which are an attraction point for divers around the world. The Greek cargo ship, the Giannis D lies in a maximum depth of 27 metres and is overgrown with hard and soft corals. The steamship, the Carnatic struck the reef in September 1869. She sank the following day as the weather worsened and now lies in about 24 metres of water. Also in the area is the Chrisoula K which is termed the “Tile Wreck” and Kimon M, named the “Lentil Wreck”.

The Dunraven was a steam and sail powered vessel used to transport spices and timber, ran aground the reef in March 1876 during a voyage from Bombay to Newcastle and quickly sank. The ship broke in two and her two halves came to rest on the sea floor. The wreck lies upside down with the stern at a depth of 28 metres and the bow at 18 metres. At the stern you find the propeller and the rudder, which are overgrown with corals. Inside the wreck you can see thousands of glassfish.

Ras Mohammed offers fantastic diving spots. Shark and Yolanda Reef are two reefs standing on a plateau 20 metres deep. The edges of the plateau fall down to more than 200 metres. On the reef you will find beautiful soft corals and a great variety of fish.
