Cruise the Red Sea

Adventure awaits on crystalline waters, white-sand atolls and in an underwater world that stretches from ancient shipwrecks to exotic dive sites, with bountiful coral habitats. For those seeking to relax and recline, the lapping azure waves and balmy, palm-fringed islands offer the perfect backdrop.

Visitors can enjoy private islands before dining on the bleached sands; swim, snorkel or kayak in the pink predawn, and see first-hand the sublime beauty of the Gulf’s longest coastline. At night, as the sun sinks over the sea, relax on the deck underneath a sky full of constellations.

With over 100 unblemished remote islands, the tropical utopia of Umluj has been described as the Maldives of Saudi Arabia. As well as offering the once-in-a-lifetime chance to picnic and unwind on palm-lined desert islands, a private charter among the flawless beaches and turquoise waters of this archipelago showcases the kingdom’s considerable conservation efforts, with its nature reserves protecting endangered nesting turtles and acting as a waypoint for thousands of migratory birds.
