Cabins

Ghazala Explorer is a stunning and large 37m long steel hull motor yacht that operates diving safaris to the best sites in Egypt's Red Sea, including the Thistlegorm wreck, Brothers, Ras Mohammed, Daedalus Reef, Elphinstone and St. John’s. This modern and bright liveaboard was completed in 2021 and, with its double 1,150 HP MAN Marine engines, can cruise at 12 knots.

The boat can accommodate 24 guests in spacious cabins across 2 decks, including upper deck seaview cabins, attended by an experienced boat crew. Each cabin has its own private bathroom. The lower deck also includes a large double. The yacht operates an all-inclusive pricing policy with no hidden extras.

Tasty meals are well-planned and served using fresh and the finest ingredients in the dining section of the air-conditioned saloon. The lounge section of the saloon has a TV, where guests can relax and watch a movie from the onboard selection, or play board games. The upper deck has a shaded, open air social area and a bar where guests can enjoy a drink or two after each day of diving. The spacious sun deck is open to the Egyptian sunshine, and is equipped with plenty of sun loungers, bean bags and lounge seating.

Most of the diving is done on Ghazala Explorer cruises from the 2 motorised RIB dinghies that are used to transport divers to the sites. Nitrox is provided free of charge by the membrane system. The 3 experienced guides are passionate about diving, very well trained, and know the various routes very well. The scuba activities are well planned and executed to ensure of making the best out of the cruise itinerary and the sea conditions.
