Egypt Odyssey: Ten Days of Pure Adventure
Three things you will do on this trip that you will still be talking about years later.
Sunrise balloon over LuxorYou are up before the city is. The burner fires, the ground drops away, and the Nile, the temples and the Valley of the Kings all light up at once. Nobody talks much up there, which tells you everything.
Kitesurfing the Red SeaWaist deep water for as far as you can walk, steady wind, and instructors who get first timers up fast. You will crash, you will laugh, and then you will get a proper ride and hear the whole boat lose it.
Diving the Red SeaCoral gardens, a wreck or two, and visibility that makes it feel like flying. Certified or brand new, you go down with the crew and come up talking over each other about what you just saw.
📅 The Day By Day
Ten days, planned so you never have to think about it.
Land in Luxor by 2pm, group transfer, and the first dinner together.
Land in Luxor by 2 PM and meet the crew at the airport for our group transfer. A short ride brings us to Jolie Ville Resort, a five star hideaway on its own island in the Nile with palm trees, pools, and sweeping river views. We kick things off with a light workout to shake off the travel, then circle up for orientation. As the sun sets, we share our first dinner by the water. It is the moment strangers turn into teammates and the adventure begins.
Up before sunrise, into the basket, over the Valley of the Kings.
Wake up early because we are going straight into one of the most epic moments of the trip. Sunrise in a hot air balloon floating over the Nile, the desert, and Valley of the Kings below. It is unreal, and yes, the photos will be insane. We keep the momentum going with a deep dive into ancient Egypt. Walk inside the tomb of King Tut. Climb the steps of the Temple of Hatshepsut. Stand next to statues that have been around longer than anything you have ever seen. By sunset we are at Karnak Temple (just saying that Karnak is more impressive than the pyramids, yep...), surrounded by giant stone columns as the sky fades to orange. It is a full day of “did that really just happen” moments. We finish back at our five star Nile resort for dinner and much needed rest before tomorrow’s adventure.
Five hours across the desert, ATVs on the way, then onto the yacht.
Sleep in a bit because the next chapter starts today. We cross the desert on a five hour ride to the Red Sea, but this is not just a transfer. Halfway through we stop to rip ATVs and buggies across the sand. Dust flying, adrenaline pumping, history lessons officially behind us. By afternoon we roll into Hurghada marina where our private yacht is waiting. This is home for the week. The second you step on deck the vibe shifts. Ocean air, crew introductions, bags down, drinks up. Dinner is on board as we set off into the Red Sea with the people who will be your team for the adventure ahead.
First lessons at Abu Mungar, a sandbar with calm turquoise on all sides.
This is the first of three days dedicated to learning how to kitesurf. We start at Abu Mungar, a sandbar surrounded by calm turquoise water that is perfect for beginners. Coaches walk you through the basics and get you into your first session on the kite. After breakfast there is a second chance to get back out, and after lunch an optional third session for those who want the most water time. Between lessons you can relax on deck, swim, or just enjoy the sun. All meals are on board with the chef keeping you fueled throughout the day.
Tawila Island, shallow lagoons, and a lot more time on the board.
We cruise early to Tawila Island, one of the best kitesurfing spots in the Red Sea. Shallow turquoise lagoons and open water stretch forever, giving space for every level. Today you can get up to three kitesurfing lessons with our coaches. Between sessions jump in to snorkel the reef, grab a wakeboard session, or just float in the turquoise water. Meals are served on deck with plenty of time to reset before the next round. When night falls the real magic begins. With no light pollution the stars are blazing overhead, and it becomes the backdrop for our first theme party of the trip. Expect costumes, music, and the kind of night people will be talking about long after the sails come down.
Lock in everything you learned, then the last ride of the week.
Our final day with the kites is about locking in everything you have learned. We start with a group stretch and get into the water before breakfast, then go again after breakfast, and once more after lunch. That is up to three sessions to ride, practice, and push your skills. By afternoon we lift anchor and begin cruising toward the next islands. The focus shifts from kitesurfing to diving, and the energy builds as we get ready to explore the Red Sea below the surface.
Breakfast, then your first descent into the coral gardens.
This is day one of your scuba journey, whether you are working toward your intro certification or just here to dive. After breakfast our dive master sets you up with gear and a safety briefing before dropping into Abu Nuhas, the Ship Graveyard. We explore the wrecks of the Giannis D and the Carnatic, both shallow, approachable, and alive with coral and schools of fish. In the afternoon we move to Siyoul Kebir, a reef of bright coral gardens and clownfish darting in and out of anemones. Turtles are often spotted here, and if the crew still has energy, Siyoul is also perfect for a night dive. Octopus, lionfish, and Spanish dancers bring the reef to life after dark.
Morning dives on the Chrisoula K and Kimon M wrecks.
Morning dives at Abu Nuhas on the Chrisoula K and Kimon M wrecks. Afternoon dive at Shaab El Erg, also known as Dolphin House. Expect to swim with dolphins, life goals right here. Outside the water we keep it SYB with workouts, stretching, games, and a BBQ dinner on deck.
Last dives, then the All White yacht party under desert stars.
Our final dives are at Umm Gamar and Abu Kafan. Towering walls, swim-throughs, eagle rays, schools of snapper, and endless reef life. The kind of dives that stay with you long after the trip ends. By sunset we are back in Hurghada port. If you need to fly out tonight you can, otherwise stay with the crew for one last night on board. The evening is all about celebrating. Floaties in the water, wakeboards flying, maybe a last workout if the crew is moving. Then we close with the All White Party. Everyone dressed in white, music on, stars overhead, and the Red Sea glowing around us. The send-off this week deserves.
Final breakfast on board, transfer to the airport, group chat forever.
We share one last breakfast together before checkout around 10 AM. Transfers to Hurghada Airport are arranged from the port. If you prefer, you can also fly out the night before since we are already back in Hurghada by sunset on Day 9. This may be departure day but it does not feel like the end. The workouts, the kiting, the dives, and the parties live on through the friendships you leave with. That is the real heart of SYB.
Every day is planned for you. Nothing to book, nothing to organise.
Two nights on a private island in the Nile, seven on a yacht in the Red Sea.
Nine nights, two homes, zero hostel bunks. You start at Jolie Ville Kings Island, a five star resort on its own island in the Nile, then swap it for Heaven Liberty, our private yacht for the week, which moves to wherever the wind and the reefs are best.
Luxor · 2 nights
Your first two nights are on Kings Island, a private island in the Nile wrapped in 150 acres of gardens and old palm trees. Pools, a spa with sauna and jacuzzi, a terrace right on the river for sunset, and big rooms with balconies over the gardens. Exactly what you want after a long flight and before a pre-dawn balloon call.
Red Sea · 7 nights
We board in Hurghada marina and this is home for the rest of the trip. Heaven Liberty is a 38 metre yacht, renovated in winter 2023, and none of her cabins sit below deck, so every single one has a sea view. A huge solarium up top for sunrise workouts and the All White party, a bar and beanbags on the main deck, an indoor dining room and saloon for when you need a break from the sun, and a crew cooking every meal while you kite, dive and nap.
Shared spot is a twin room at Jolie Ville and a twin cabin on Heaven Liberty, two separate beds, matched with someone of the same gender, with your own bathroom in both.
Private suite is the room and the cabin to yourself, ensuite bathroom in both. Same two places either way.

Because you get ancient Egypt and the Red Sea in one trip.

Yes, and most people do.
You’re sharing big experiences from day one: temples, desert rides, boat life, and full days on the water. By the time you’re on the yacht, it feels like a tight group.

It’s one of the more active and full trips we run.
Big, social, and a little wild in the best way.

You move through two main environments:
