Sea Diving Safari
The Sea Ray- (Egyptian: departs from Hurghada
and Mersa Galeb) Launched in 1997 from Suez. The huge living area (65 square meter) provides for comfortable relaxation in front of the TV with VCR, or listening to the stereo. Combine this with a bar and dining buffet, and the vessel truly becomes a floating hotel. The air-conditioning gives a great escape to divers when it's really hot, whether in the living area or in the cabins deck. The yacht carries a total of 20 air tanks, 12-Liter, and provides refills from two 190-Liter Bauer Mariner Compressors. The spacious diving area (50 square meters) makes it easier for divers when suiting.
The specially designed ladder helps divers to get on board without much effort and the friendly, efficient, crew members are always there to take your air tank ''off your back'' !! The vessel is also equipped with First Aid kit, an Oxygen tank, lifejackets and one 20-person life-raft.
Itineraries take divers as far as the straits of Gubal to the north where is the "Mother of all " wrecks: ''Thistlegorm'', or to the south, from Mersa Galeb.

The Physically Challenged Passengers in Egypt
Egypt presents challenges to the traveler in a wheelchair, but we are determined to make it possible for everyone to enjoy Egypt's wonders.
Here's what the wheelchair traveler may expect: 1. Airport arrival in Cairo may not be as smooth as at some more handicapped-ready airports, but it presents no big problems. 2. A number of five-star hotels in Cairo are well prepared to accommodate visitors in wheelchairs. 3. Most museums are not well prepared to receive wheelchair travelers, so their visits may be limited to certain exhibits, for example, those on the ground floor. 4. Some outdoor sights, such as the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and some temples along the Nile, are more or less readily accessible. Your Egyptian guides will display ingenuity in overcoming small barriers to access so that you can enjoy these wonders. It may be necessary in some places for the traveler to be carried by guides up or down steps or steep ramps to allow wheelchair access. 5. Unfortunately, some sights are inaccessible to wheelchairs, such as most of the tombs in the Valley of the Kings (including that of Tutankhamon). 6. At Luxor a suitable ramp connects the Nile cruise boat dock to street level. There are a few small steps which can be negotiated by wheelchair with the crew's help (our crew members are always available to help). At Aswan there is no ramp, but rather two flights of 20 steps each. Travelers will need to be carried between street and boat levels by our crew. 7. The gangway of some of the Nile cruise vessel is wide enough to accommodate wheelchairs, but the angle of ascent may be steep and the guest may have to be carried aboard. Onboard, most of the ship do not have an elevator, but wheelchair travelers can be accommodated in a wheelchair-friendly cabin on the same deck as the reception and dining rooms.
