The Blue Hole is one of the most famous dive sites in Dahab. It is located on the eastern part of Sinai a few kilometers north of Dahab; it is a kind of cave, around 130 m deep, accessible from shore. The arch, which connects the Blue Hole to the open sea, starts at around 56 m depth. Enter the water from the beach. It is marked "easy entrance". Cross the hole and leave it through the exit at 7 m. The Blue hole hardly offers corals contrary to the beautiful external wall. The coral growth and its splendid colors are breathtaking. Descend there to your chosen depth. Make sure you stick to a depth well within your ability! On your way back up, search for the rare red anemone in 10 m depth. It is also possible to make an alternative dive just north of the Blue Hole, along the rocky coastal path and enter through a gap in the shoreline rocks. This is done one diver at a time. Divers can then drop down an enclosed chimney in the reef exiting at 30 meters or so onto the sheer wall. The reef is near vertical at this point and as you head south (right shoulder to the reef) you'll come around an outcrop which makes for some fantastic silhouette photographs looking up towards the sunlight. The reef wall is home to lots of clownfish anemones and the blue backdrop makes a great viewing point for trevallies, jacks, barracuda and possibly white-tip and grey reef sharks.
As you travel south and ascend you will come to a colorful hard coral slope at around 10 meters, which leads up and over at 6 meters into the blue hole pool. It is best to spend most of the dive on the outside of the reef as the inside pool has little in the way of coral. Use your safety stop to either swim across the pool or around the edge (left shoulder to reef) until you reach the small wooden jetty and exit. Currents can be strong, usually north to south, on the outside of the reef so the northern entry point is often a good option, then drifting down to the pool with the current. Take care not to miss your exit, although if this does happen simply find a safe exit further down the shoreline and be prepared for a walk in full kit. After this fantastic dive, we will take you back to your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh.

Enjoy the hotel’s facilities, recline on the beach soaking up the sun and discover your surroundings! If you are interested in further activities, just check out our excursion program for Sharm El Sheikh, at night transfer from Sharm to Taba border to start your Jerusalem Tour.

In the early morning you will move towards the Israeli border, the gate to the so-called ‘Holy Land’. On the shores of the Dead Sea we will make a stop for around 90 minutes; relax or go swimming - the extreme salinity will even allow you to float without any movements. In Jerusalem we will take you to the Mount of Olives. You will enjoy a fantastic panorama view over the Holy City. Then we will start our tour, visiting Jerusalem’s holy sites of Christians, Muslims and Jews. First of all we will show you the Wailing Wall / Western Wall, the last remaining piece of the Great Temple, the most important Jewish sanctuary, a praying and pilgrimage site for Jewish believers who put prayer notes with their wishes and needs into the wall’s cracks. If the Temple Mount will be open to visitors on the day of your visit, you will ascend it to see the Dome of the Rock, one of Islam’s main sanctuaries, built already around 700 AD, and the Al Aqsa Mosque, the third most important mosque in the world (both from the outside). You continue your trip with a walk through the Souk, the Arabic marketplace and then walk along the ‘Via Dolorosa’, Jesus' painful ‘Way of Suffering’; in its end we will arrive at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre / Church of Resurrection, where Jesus is said to have been crucified, buried and finally resurrected. Then we will head to Jesus’ birthplace Bethlehem. You will see the Church of the Nativity, constructed above the Grotto of the Nativity where he is supposed to have been born. Passing by modern Jerusalem we will then head back to the Egyptian border and finally to your hotel in Sharm.

Breakfast at your hotel, free day for optional tour to enjoy safari trip to Colored Canyon near Nweibaa, its walls, which reach up to sixteen stories, are easily the most colorful and intriguing rock formations in all of Sinai. They were created by the erosion of water upon sandstone and limestone. In some places the deep coloration of rocks gives the canyon walls a prismatic and metallic sheen; in others, the stone is so smooth that it appears soft and pillowy. Overnight in Sharm El Sheikh.

You will have breakfast in the hotel. Our representative will pick you up at the reception and transfer you back to Sharm El Sheikh Airport for your final departure; we will take you to the airport three hours before your plane will leave.
