Protectorate Diving Safari
Our Protectorate Dive Safari is a program made for divers that want to experience something different! It is a combination of adventure, relaxation, diving, camel safari, learning about the Bedouin culture, and experiencing the flora & fauna of the Sinai Desert.
Loading your dive equipment on a camel & ride through the desert to reach your diving destination is Definitely a story that you will tell your grandchildren.
The evenings provide the opportunity to relax and are probably the most amazing part of this desert adventure. Sunsets over the Sinai Mountains, sitting around the campfire and sleeping under the stars with its breathtaking displays of planets, constellations and shooting stars, will most certainly be a soul recharging experience.
For some people this safari will bring all those fantasies of Lawrence of Arabia, desert nights spent under a blanket of stars.
A camel safari is the ideal way to experience diving little dived sites and experiencing just a little piece of Bedouin nomadic life. And still you will be able to dive Dahab’s most famous sites on the first day.
