Dive-site story
Located south of Hurghada in a protected coastal bay, this nature reserve offers a classic Red Sea house reef setup. Divers enter directly from the sandy shoreline into a sheltered lagoon that transitions over a coral plateau before plunging into an outer wall. Pristine hard coral formations, especially large Acropora table corals and towering fire coral colonies, define the underwater landscape.
Vibrant fringing reef wall dropping steeply into the blue
Direct beach entry with an easy sandy entry channel
Expansive coral gardens colonized by massive table corals and giant clams

Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Diving is possible year-round, though spring and autumn offer the most comfortable blend of air and water temperatures.
