Day 7: Egypt Easter Tours, Sharm
– Blue Hole
The Blue Hole is one of the most famous dive sites in Dahab. It is
located on the eastern part of Sinai a few kilometers north of Dahab; it
is a kind of cave, around 130 m deep, accessible from shore. The arch,
which connects the Blue Hole to the open sea, starts at around 56 m
depth. Enter the water from the beach. It is marked "easy
entrance". Cross the hole and leave it through the exit at 7 m. The
Blue hole hardly offers corals contrary to the beautiful external wall.
The coral growth and its splendid colors are breathtaking. Descend there
to your chosen depth. Make sure you stick to a depth well within your
ability! On your way back up, search for the rare red anemone in 10 m
depth.
It is also possible to make an alternative dive just north of the Blue
Hole, along the rocky coastal path and enter through a gap in the
shoreline rocks. This is done one diver at a time. Divers can then drop
down an enclosed chimney in the reef exiting at 30 meters or so onto the
sheer wall. The reef is near vertical at this point and as you head south
(right shoulder to the reef) you'll come around an outcrop which makes
for some fantastic silhouette photographs looking up towards the
sunlight. The reef wall is home to lots of clownfish anemones and the
blue backdrop makes a great viewing point for trevallies, jacks,
barracuda and possibly white-tip and grey reef sharks.
As you travel south and ascend you will come to a colorful hard coral
slope at around 10 meters, which leads up and over at 6 meters into the
blue hole pool. It is best to spend most of the dive on the outside of
the reef as the inside pool has little in the way of coral. Use your
safety stop to either swim across the pool or around the edge (left
shoulder to reef) until you reach the small wooden jetty and exit. Currents
can be strong, usually north to south, on the outside of the reef so the
northern entry point is often a good option, then drifting down to the
pool with the current. Take care not to miss your exit, although if this
does happen simply find a safe exit further down the shoreline and be
prepared for a walk in full kit. After this fantastic dive, we will take
you back to your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh.
Day 8: Egypt Easter Tours, Beach
Enjoy the hotel’s facilities, recline on the beach soaking up the sun and
discover your surroundings! If you are interested in further activities,
just check out our excursion program for Sharm El Sheikh, at night
transfer from Sharm to Taba border to start your Jerusalem Tour.
Day 9: Egypt Easter Tours to Jerusalem
In the early morning you will move towards the Israeli border, the gate
to the so-called ‘Holy Land’. On the shores of the Dead Sea we will make
a stop for around 90 minutes; relax or go swimming - the extreme salinity
will even allow you to float without any movements. In Jerusalem we will
take you to the Mount of Olives. You will enjoy a fantastic panorama view
over the Holy City. Then we will start our tour, visiting Jerusalem’s
holy sites of Christians, Muslims and Jews. First of all we will show you
the Wailing Wall / Western Wall, the last remaining piece of the Great
Temple, the most important Jewish sanctuary, a praying and pilgrimage
site for Jewish believers who put prayer notes with their wishes and
needs into the wall’s cracks. If the Temple Mount will be open to
visitors on the day of your visit, you will ascend it to see the Dome of
the Rock, one of Islam’s main sanctuaries, built already around 700 AD,
and the Al Aqsa Mosque, the third most important mosque in the world
(both from the outside). You continue your trip with a walk through the
Souk, the Arabic marketplace and then walk along the ‘Via Dolorosa’,
Jesus' painful ‘Way of Suffering’; in its end we will arrive at the
Church of the Holy Sepulchre / Church of Resurrection, where Jesus is said
to have been crucified, buried and finally resurrected. Then we will head
to Jesus’ birthplace Bethlehem. You will see the Church of the Nativity,
constructed above the Grotto of the Nativity where he is supposed to have
been born. Passing by modern Jerusalem we will then head back to the
Egyptian border and finally to your hotel in Sharm.
Day 10: Sharm - Optional tour to Colored Canyon
Breakfast at your hotel, free day for optional tour to enjoy safari trip
to Colored Canyon near Nweibaa, its walls, which reach up to sixteen
stories, are easily the most colorful and intriguing rock formations in
all of Sinai. They were created by the erosion of water upon sandstone
and limestone. In some places the deep coloration of rocks gives the
canyon walls a prismatic and metallic sheen; in others, the stone is so
smooth that it appears soft and pillowy. Overnight in Sharm El Sheikh.

at the reception and transfer you back to Sharm El Sheikh Airport for
