Catalog

Ras Abu Galum is a protected Bedouin nature reserve north of the Blue Hole, reached by jeep, camel or boat, offering pristine fringing reef and walls. The reefs here are exceptionally healthy, with vibrant hard and soft coral, abundant reef fish and frequent encounters with rays and turtles. The wild desert-meets-sea setting makes it one of the most atmospheric dives in the region.
