Exposed open-sea location — conditions matter more here than most sites
An island reef with a dramatic wall running along both its east and west sides, more exposed to weather than sites closer to shore. On a calm day it's one of the more rewarding sites in the area: white tip reef sharks occasionally patrol the wall, and it's one of the few spots near Hurghada where a manta ray sighting gets reported now and then.

What You Might See

White tip reef sharks (occasional) Manta ray (rare) Jackfish & tuna working fusilier schools Barracuda
