How to get there: Egypt - Nemo Red Sea liveaboard cruises normally use Port Ghalib as the port of departure. Once you arrive in Hurghada or Marsa Alam Airport, a yacht correspondent holding a 'Dune' signboard will greet you outside the arrivals hall. Private transfers are provided form the local airport, and collective minibus transfers are provided from Hurghada Airport to Port Ghalib (200 km/3,5 hours). For more details visit our Egypt travel information section.
The first and last nights are spent in port. Guests board on the first day after 2 pm. The last dive of the trip will be about 10 am on the penultimate day. Please wait at least 18 hours before flying after diving. Guests depart latest at 10 am on the final day. If you plan an early arrival or late departure, the use of a day room at a hotel is recommended.
Sudan - Nemo uses Port Sudan as its port for its Sudan dive safaris. Guests are collected from Port Sudan International Airport and transferred to the port, 25 minutes away. The yacht leaves port that evening. A Sudan entry visa must be pre-arranged before travel and costs US$ 145. We will arrange this for you with the boat operator. For more details visit our Sudan travel information section.
The last dive of the trip will be about 10 am on the penultimate day, then the liveaboard will travel back to port. Please wait at least 18 hours before flying after diving. Guests depart latest at 10 am on the final day.
