Тiran Island is located in Sharm El Sheikh, which is a resort town on the coast of the Red Sea in Egypt. It is located in the northeastern part of the Red Sea and is one of the popular places for tourists visiting Sharm El Sheikh.
Tiran Island is famous for its unique nature and rich underwater world. It is part of the Ras Mohammed Marine Park, which is recognized as one of the most beautiful places for snorkeling and diving. These places are abundant in coral reefs, which attract divers and snorkelers from all over the world.
In the past, Tiran Island was the subject of territorial disputes between Egypt and Saudi Arabia. However, in 2017, Egypt and Saudi Arabia reached an agreement under which the island was transferred to Saudi Arabia. This agreement was reached after lengthy negotiations between the two countries.
You will also see the entire coastline of Sharm El Sheikh and the site of the wreck of the Cypriot merchant ship «Lara,» which sank on the reef between the coast and the island in 1985.
The day will be spent relaxing, in the fresh air, admiring the underwater world with a professional instructor. Please note that there is no landing on the island as it is territory of another state.
The program can be arranged with diving +€7 for one dive (info below).

We really have some of the lowest prices that can be offered and maintain the high quality of services provided. The fact is that we are an online booking company for large organizers in Egypt and can offer very favorable prices, due to the large flow of tourists. Buying services from us, you get quality service and do not overpay intermediaries.
There are a lot of vehicles in the organizers’ fleet. There are cars, minivans and large comfortable buses. The main cars for short, medium and long distances are equipped with air conditioning and safety systems. For long routes, buses with toilets are provided. All vehicles are regularly serviced and sanitized, receive the necessary tourist permits, and drivers are inspected before each trip.
We work without prepayment. Absolutely any group excursions are paid already on the bus, or in the process. The exceptions are prepayments for individual excursions and excursions, where you need to buy tickets to the plane, or execute documents. The main programs are paid directly during the transfer. Looking for someone to pay money for an excursion — is not necessary. The organizer himself will come to you. There is an opportunity to pay in cash in dollars, euros. It is also possible to consider an alternative method of payment by arrangement.
Egypt is a rather over-regulated country, especially with regard to tourism. In order for a car or yacht to go on a tour, it is required to obtain permission from the police and military on a daily basis. And if the organizers do not have a license to conduct tourism activities, they naturally do not get any permits. This is why on some tours, we may ask you for data or photos of vouchers and passports (this applies to marine excursions in Sharm El Sheikh, individual tours and some group tours, if it requires leaving the city. For other excursions permits are issued simply for the number of people and passport details are not required).
Some guides in hotels, unfortunately, try to convince tourists that, supposedly, the insurance does not apply to third-party organizers of excursions, except for his tour company. This is not true.
First, your travel insurance is valid throughout Egypt, just as it is with the tour company.
Second, if you are on the ship, bus and other transport, the organizer has full insurance responsibility to the passengers. Otherwise, he simply will not be able to get a permit for tour. activities. In Egypt, rather strict tourist regulations and permits are required before each trip.
We always warn you that it is important not to forget anything and to check your belongings when you get off the bus or boat at the end of the tour. If you lose something, it is quite difficult to get it back, as all the vehicles leave to clean up. Of course, we help tourists find their belongings, but we cannot guarantee a 100% return. Please be careful!
We have a fairly large daily incoming flow of program bookings from tourists, so most excursions are organized every day, or by the days of the week and the specific schedule provided in the description of each program. After booking, we send you the exact time you will be picked up from your hotel. Many trips you will make with small hotel groups, which have purchased tours from tour operators, the only difference is that our price is lower from 40% to 60% (our organizers provide all major tours in Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh for Russian-speaking tourists).
Tour photographers are independent people who do not work for the tour company. Therefore, all arrangements between you and the photographer remain your responsibility. We do not recommend giving money in advance if you are not sure that the photos will be delivered. If you do not need photos, we recommend to tell about it to the photographers in advance in order to avoid their unnecessary obtrusive attitude.
