King Snefro 5 is one of the smaller Sharm El Sheikh liveaboard boats, measuring just 22m in length. It is the sistership of King Snefro 6 and was built in Alexandria in 1999 but underwent a major refit in 2018, It operates mini 3 night dive safaris around the Red Sea's Sinai Peninsula - to the classic destinations of the Straits of Tiran and Ras Mohamed National Park. Taking a maximum of only 8 guests per cruise, you can be sure of an intimate experience and plenty of personal attention from the Snefro boat crew.

Enjoy the TV, video and music system while relaxing indoors in the air conditioned saloon and dining area, and help yourself to snacks, soft drinks, drinking water, tea and coffee at any time. The liveaboard's sundeck is the place to soak up the hot Red Sea sunshine, or opt for a a good book in the cool of the shade. The kitchen staff prepare delicious, mouth-watering meals: if you have special requests, such as a vegetarian diet, just let us know and they will gladly prepare something special for you.

There are 5 cabins onboard, 2 of which have private ensuite bathroom facilities, and 3 share 2 bathrooms. All have air conditioning. King Snefro 5 offers a short and sweet liveaboard diving adventure around the Sinai Peninsula. The low boat capacity makes it a great choice for a whole boat charter in the Northern Red Sea.
