About this site
Catalog

Located a few hundred metres in front of the Taba Heights hotels, Ras Amira features a sandy seabed studded with small coral pinnacles. Its shallow, sheltered profile has long made it a favourite for training and check-out dives, while the pinnacles support anthias, glassfish and macro critters. Calm, easy conditions make it accessible to beginners and a relaxed dive for everyone.
