Hello,
Wife and I have been to egypt 4 times in last 6 years and have done 5 LOB;s.
All of our trips have been 3 week trips. The last 2 visits have been on 2 LOBS for each trip.
On the last trip we did a 2 week LOB on Royal Evolution into north Sudan and had a great time on the boat and diving was wonderful.
We have booked another trip late in the spring to do South Sudan on Royal. We can't wait.
Travel;
The first 3 trips we flew Lufthanza through Frankfurt , then Cairo then Hurghada then taxied down to Marsa Alam / Port Gahlib .
We had no issues other than 2 stops and layover but on this last trip we flew Turkish air to Istanbul then to Hurghada and taxied again south.
Our next trip is on Turkish air with the same times, layover in Istanbul is abit long but not long enough to tour the city so took a long nap!
On each of our trips we arrived Hurghada around 3 am went to a hotel, slept till about 11 am , had lunch and then at noon taxied down south to the boat , about 3 hr ride. The prices for all of these items were reasonable to low compared to all other LOB diving we have down, which has been extensive..
Have fun, book soon ...
PS-
The last trip was March into April , water was cold in Egypt, 7 mill,
Sudan I wore 5 mill with vest and hood , it was ok!
This year is May into June so warmer!!!!!
