Red Sea Spies

The True Story of Mossad's Fake Diving Resort

The true story that inspired the Netflix film The Red Sea Diving Resort.

In the early 1980s on a remote part of the Sudanese coast, a new luxury holiday resort opened for business. Catering for divers, it attracted guests from around the world. Little did the holidaymakers know that the staff were undercover spies, working for the Mossad - the Israeli secret service.

Providing a front for covert night-time activities, the holiday village allowed the agents to carry out an operation unlike any seen before. What began with one cryptic message pleading for help, turned into the secret evacuation of thousands of Ethiopian Jews who had been languishing in refugee camps, and the spiriting of them to Israel.

Written in collaboration with operatives involved in the mission, endorsed as the definitive account and including an afterword from the then Mossad director, this is the complete, never-before-heard, gripping tale of a top-secret and often hazardous operation.

Real world mission impossible

This true story reads like the script for an action movie. While full of edge if your seat moments it also fills in those logistical details on how the operation was conducted. Many of these details would be of interest to those passionate in historical facts and how modern peacetime espionage operations are conducted.

Incredible true story

This is a remarkable true, riveting story that you need to read or hear . Brilliant.

Brilliant!!!

A very exciting and emotional retelling of the dramatic rescue of Ethiopian Jews. As an Israeli/American I am so proud of my fellow citizens for their courage, ingenuity, sensitivity and just plain chutzpah. This is how we have survived!!!

Incredible true story involving very courageous people.

I enjoyed the premise of this book. It’s an incredible account of what really happened.
I listened to about half in detail, but then skipped through. Glad I learned of this important story that I had never heard of prior to listening to this book.

Loved it

This book was fantastic. Learning about the back story and main people who made this happen was amazing and the entire operation is just fascinating and the telling of it gripping and entertaining. It seems unbelievable, which makes it even more amazing that it is! I got the book after hearing a recorded zoom interview with the author and Dani, which was just as fantastic.
