Hello, friends!

My sister and I have planned to go to safari. But, unfortunately, sudden troubles keep us home.

So, 2 places are vacant. My price is €600 per each (originally i paid €800 per each, but if someone would be interested — I could reduce the price even more).

The boat "El Samaka" is the comfortable one.

Safari starts from Marsa Ghalib. The route includes such sites as Fury Shoals coral system; St. John's and Daedalus reefs; Brothers, Rocky and Zabarghad islands.

On the way to Fury shoals, dive Shaab Sharm with its wall dives and white tip reef sharks. Oceanic white tips and silky sharks can sometimes be found in the blue and turtles often visit the south side before heading further south. At Fury Shoals, dive Shaab Claudio with its famous swim-throughs and huge porite corals. White tip reef sharks and an anemone and clownfish settlement can be seen a little off the reef to the South. Abu Galawa Soraya has a fantastic coral garden and a wreck of a private sailing boat populated with glass fish.

St John's is a vast collection of small reefs offering some of the most remote and rewarding diving in the Red Sea. This incredibly beautiful reef lies a short distance north of the Sudanese border. The reef covers a huge area and many dives would be needed to explore the numerous coral heads and islands. Habili Ali offers giant gorgonians and black corals whilst grey reef, silvertip and schools of hammerhead sharks might be found on the west side. Habili Gafaar is a mass of soft corals teaming with shoals of snappers, butterfly fish and barracudas. Mantas, grey reef and silvertip sharks can often be seen in the blue.

Gota Kebir is a massive reef, famous for its tunnels and south plateau, where jacks and barracudas swim and the occasional manta. The tunnels are an ideal for novice cave divers.

Gota Soraya is rated as possibly one of the best wall dives in the Red Sea, with overhangs and cracks in the reef wall full of glass fish and sweepers as well as an abundance of corals, grey reef, silvertips and hammerhead sharks.

Items included to price:

Water, tea, Nescafe, Cola;
daily alcohol-free cocktails and juices;
dinner Party from the crew at the end of safari;
FB accommodation;
barbecue on the shore - possible.

Items NOT included to price:

Nitrox - €70 per week
Park fee - €65
Equipment for rent - €120
Tips for crew and guides - €30

It's regrettable to lose this trip; I'd be very glad if somebody would go there instead of us :)
