We did a week on a liveaboard out of Hurghada, then a week on a different liveaboard out of Port Ghalib three hours to the south, so we only had three days of land time. Our only guides were the guides on the boats when we were diving. That said our guide went with us when I finished my son's Advanced Wreck Diving cert on the Thistlegorm (in the middle of the night to avoid other divers from other liveaboards F'ing up his line-laying); so it was a good trade IMO..
I love me some Egypt and Red Sea, but I'll pass on Egypt's land stuff, it's not my jam.
