Easily accessible from Hurghada or Sharm el-Sheikh by a liveaboard or day boat, this site has aptly been named the ‘Aquarium’: relatively shallow and quite flat, it is home to a stunning variety of marine species: it is packed full of small reef fishes, stingrays, leopard sharks. Jacks, barracuda and small tuna can also be seen in big numbers, and you might even witness a whitetip reef shark passing by.
