About Erlebnis Ägypten®
More than excursions.Memories that last.
A German-Egyptian team that treats the Red Sea with the personal care, genuine hospitality and respect this special place deserves.

01 · Our Story
Two cultures. One shared idea of hospitality.
Erlebnis Ägypten® is a family-run, German-Egyptian team with roots in both countries — founded by Osama Samir, who built this community with real warmth and dedication, one where guests and team feel like one big family. That is exactly the feeling we want to share with you.
We combine Egyptian warmth with the reliability our guests value — short lines of communication, personal contact and a shared commitment to quality, all without the anonymity of mass tourism.
For us, a good excursion doesn't start on the boat or in the vehicle. It starts with listening, careful planning, and the feeling of being in good hands from the very first contact.
“We treat our guests the way we'd want to be treated ourselves — like family.”
“The ankh — the symbol of life. Our quiet promise to every guest who comes to us.”
02 · Our Philosophy
“Arrive as a stranger and leave as a friend.”
This guiding principle shapes our work on every single excursion — it's our promise to every guest: the feeling of being welcome, not just a customer. To us, hospitality means taking the time to listen and showing Egypt the way we experience it ourselves — not as a backdrop, but as a home we're glad to share.
03 · Why Choose Us
What makes an excursion with us different.
Not more items on the itinerary, but more attention. Not bigger, but more personal.
Local Experience
We don't just know the Red Sea as a destination — it's our home.
Hand-picked locations and freshly prepared, high-quality food on board.
Personal Attention
Our excursions at sea take place exclusively in manageable small groups.
Personal attention, time for questions and a relaxed atmosphere.
Clear & Reliable
German-speaking, professionally trained guides accompany you personally and reliably.
No forced stops, no sales events and no tourist traps.
Animal Welfare & Nature
The animals' wellbeing always comes first for us.
Quality, sustainability and a respectful relationship with nature are inseparable for us — the wellbeing of the animals and the underwater world comes first on every one of our excursions.
With us, there is no chasing, no pursuit and no forcing. We never interfere with the behaviour of wild animals — encounters happen, they are never forced.
We treat the coral reefs with the same respect: we ask our guests not to touch any coral or marine life, as human contact can permanently damage them.
“If other boats crowd or chase the animals, we leave the area — because respecting nature matters most to us.”

05 · Guests with Disabilities
Welcome — whatever you need.
Your wishes matter to us deeply. We take the time to understand your individual needs and plan the excursion together with you.
We're especially glad to have welcomed guests from Diakonie time and again. That trust means a great deal to us.
Planned with Accessibility in Mind
Guests with physical limitations or wheelchair users may also be able to enjoy the experience, thanks to careful, individual planning that keeps accessibility in mind. A mobile ramp makes getting on and off easier.
Allergy-Friendly Food
Because we cook fresh on board, we can accommodate allergies and special dietary needs. Please let us know in advance.
Trained, German-Speaking Guides
Our professionally trained, German-speaking guides have received training in supporting guests with disabilities and help every guest feel safe, comfortable and valued.
Inclusion Goes Without Saying
For us, inclusion, warmth and quality are inseparable.
06 · Vehicles & Safety
Safe travels, every day.
Our air-conditioned vehicles are nearly new, beautifully maintained and always kept in excellent technical condition — fitted with a range of comfort upgrades for your wellbeing. They are thoroughly cleaned after every excursion, and we carry out regular servicing and oil changes.
