Where to go diving ?

[LikeTo]

Ciao all,

We are group of 5 friend who like to dive
We come from Milan, Italy .

We like to spend 7-10 end October or start November days in the red sea and think about 2 options :

1. go to Sharem El Shich and Dahab for diving .
2. go to Eilat , Israel for diving.

prices of hotel and flight okay same same .

What is the situation in Egypt after all the problems when president gone , is it okay and safe go there ? is they served beer at all ?
travel agent give 2 options and this is good I found this forum to get advise here.

Thank you

Ciao Ciao

Buon giorno,

Consider a 3rd option and have a look at the Marsa Alam area in the south lot's of italian go there, Coraya Bay, El Quseir. It will also be a little warmer . Marsa Alam has its own international airport.

There is nothing to worry about going to Egypt I have done 5 trips this year , so far so good and intend to do 2 more before going into hibernation. They have beer of course also good wine.

Shar El Sheikh and Dahab are good for diving and entertainment, not sure about Eilat never been there.
