Red Sea Diving and Land tour

4 posts
  1. Unfortunately, some waited till it was too late to sign up for the Video and Editing seminar on this years' trip to the Coco Islands, so we hope you won't miss the next seminar on the luxurious ship 'the Elite", part of the Emperor Divers Fleet for our trip to the Red Sea on Oct 28-Nov. 11th, 2009. Yes, I know this is way early but we have found that in order to get the best dates for most destinations, we have to plan well ahead. We will be diving the southern route where the best diving is and also to avoid the mulititude of boats up north. I couldn't attach the doc with the pictures so below is the text of the document on the trip we made up. In addition, there is plenty of info and pics on our website at www.worldfilmsandtravel.com Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have.

    You are invited to join us as we journey to Egypt to dive the Red Sea and tour the old cities of Luxor and Cairo, Egypt. We will board the plane at JFK in New York and start our adventures in Cairo. After a nights rest at the Concorde El Salam in Cairo, we will fly to Luxor for our first land tour. During our two day stay in Luxor at the Steigenberger Nile Palace Hotel, we will visit the Valley of the Kings, Hatchepsut, Karnak (including the Light Show), and the Colossi of Memnon.

     

    The following morning, we will caravan to Marsa Ghailb Port and board the Emperor Divers boat the Elite for a week of the very finest of Red Sea diving. We will be diving the dive route called “Simply the Bestâ€. After diving, we will complete a short transfer to Hurghada for the night.

     

    The next morning, we will fly back to Cairo more adventurous touring. After checking into the Nile Hilton Hotel, we will have the afternoon free to rest or roam at your pleasure. During our full two days in Cairo, we will visit the Great Pyramids, the Solar Boat, the Sphinx, Sakkara, Egyptian Museum, Ali Mosque, Citadelle, and the famous Eli Bazaar. We will have a set Menu dinner at Alaa El Din restaurant at the Sheraton which includes belly dancing.

     

    We fly out of Cairo in the morning for our return to JFK. We will land in JFK in the early afternoon where you will be able to continue on home.

  2. Because of the economy, we still have some openings for this exciting dive and tour trip for October. Air rates, fortunately are down, which I am certainly happy about.

    Contact me with any questions or concerns you may have.
