Description
The Northern Red Sea and Brothers route combines the most famous wrecks of northern Egypt with ocean diving at the Brothers Islands. The itinerary typically includes the SS Thistlegorm, a British cargo ship sunk in 1941, and the four wrecks of Abu Nuhas, situated on a reef that has claimed numerous ships. At the Brothers, two islands about 140 km off the coast, the walls and plateaus of Big Brother are home to vibrant gorgonian fans, soft corals, and the vertical wrecks of the Numidia and Aida, with seasonal sightings of hammerhead, fox, gray reef, and oceanic whitetip sharks. The journey is complemented by lively reefs such as Ras Mohammed, Sha'ab El Erg—known for its dolphins—and the Gubal Islands. This is a demanding trip designed for experienced divers seeking historical wrecks and large pelagics in one adventure.
