About this site
Catalog

Abu Galawa is a compact reef north of El Gouna built around striking coral towers and arches that create atmospheric swim-throughs in shallow, well-lit water. The maze of pinnacles shelters glassfish, lionfish, morays and abundant reef fish, with hard corals in excellent condition. Its easy depth and calm water suit beginners and photographers alike.
