Day diving from our stunning home at Wadi Sabarah Lodge & Botanical Gardens is among the finest experiences you can have in the Red Sea.
Built from repurposed fossilised coral limestone and designed to blend seamlessly with its natural surroundings, the lodge is a tranquil retreat nestled between the vibrant Red Sea and the vast Eastern Desert.
Divers will love exploring the beautiful shore dives at bays like Marsa Egla, Marsa Shona, and Marsa Abu Dabab, while there is also easy access to world-famous sites such as Elphinstone.
And as our dive centre is located within the hotel grounds and just metres from the sea, you can discover the thriving marine life of the Red Sea a few footsteps from your room.
The waters here are exceptional and you will have some amazing diving. But you could elevate your stay by adding a touch of land-based adventure. Why not venture inland and experience the striking contrast between the sea and Egypt’s desert landscape with one of our Emperor Adventure hikes?
Emperor Adventure, a sister brand to Emperor Divers, offers thoughtfully crafted expeditions around the world – including jungle trekking and foraging in Indonesia and swimming the Indian Ocean from one our Maldives boats.
At Wadi Sabarah, we can take you deep into desert terrain that has remained unaltered for millennia.
The rugged Eastern Desert is truly awe-inspiring. A hike through its scenic valleys and expansive plains can make you feel as though you’re one of the only people on Earth. The scale of it is truly humbling while the views are breathtaking.
Along the way, you might explore ancient temples, discover prehistoric rock art, stumble upon lush green pockets hidden among the rocks and sand, and enjoy traditional Bedouin hospitality.
With five different hikes to choose from, including half-day and full-day options, there’s something to suit every level of adventure.
You might choose Following the Water in Wadi Nabea, where our expert guides will show you how vibrant greenery thrives against the odds in this unforgiving landscape.
Or maybe you would like to explore a historic temple and see for yourself the incredible beauty around in the famous National Protectorate site by joining in our Wadi Gemal’s Ancient Ruins trip.
There is plenty on offer to showcase a different side of the region on your visit to the Red Sea … before you head back to the water for all the amazing marine life on show under the waves, of course!
So why not add another unforgettable experience to your incredible diving at Wadi Sabarah? Swap sea for sand and discover the raw natural beauty of the desert – it’s a journey you won’t forget.
