Nuweiba Red Sea - Exodus Question

Have a question. I've never been to this area so my knowledge is very limited - if non-existent! I have read several archaeological reports that have identified finds in the Nuweiba area leading back to the possible location of the exodus, i.e. chariot wheels, chariot axle's, etc. Does anyone know if a dive operator in this area offers dive trips to any of these sites? The diving in the area sounds impressive regardless but am interested in diving these archaeological sites if possible...

Thanks!

Donno which exodus are you talking about but there's Salah Eddin's castle between Taba and Nuweiba. The castle was used as a strategic defense against the occupying troops in the 12th century.

The exodus he is talking about (I assume) is the Moses leading the Jews from the Egyptians.

You will find that the Nuweiba dive area is pretty. It has lots of small stuff that is lovely to photograph. But it is very close to the ferry that goes to Jordan (Aqaba)
So diving out in the middle of sea is going to be limited.

Emperor Divers are in Nuweiba, and you could contact them to ask.

But as far as I am aware, there is little diving on archeological sites.
The Egyptian authorities get a little nervous when foreigners start mooching around.

I have heard back from Emporer Divers as well as PM'd with Red Sea Shadow. Doesn't sound like there are archaeological dive trips in the area. Still waiting to hear back from Africa Divers... Thanks for all your comments and PM's. Exactly the information I was looking for!

it is a fact that they fund about 10 years ago some archaeological sites near Nuweiba.
To be exact between the harbor and the bedouin fisherman village called Mezzina.
They fund wheals ans other thinks but as far as I know they get a lot out of the sea to bring it to the Egyptian Museum where it was confirmed that this wheals belongs to the army of Ramses 2.
Probably you can still see some of them under water. There is also a column you still can see by the road.
