The clear blue waters around this area hide some of Red Sea’s biggest surprises such as stunning reefs and mysterious shipwrecks. Strewn across the Straits of Gubal, gateway to the Suez Canal, the reefs of this region are as rich in history as they are in natural beauty.

Along with the large range of colorful reef species, the area boasts some big pelagic and some massive schools of gregarious species. These reefs also offer some of the best chance in the northern Red Sea to dive with dolphins in the wild.

More than one thousand species of fish, hundreds of species of coral and thousands of invertebrate reef dwellers make the Red Sea outstanding. The sites include sheer drop-offs, sea-grass meadows, towering pinnacles and coral-encrusted wrecks.
