About this site
Catalog

A long sloping reef and wall on the headland between Sharm's bays and the Straits of Tiran, exposed to currents that funnel through the strait. The current-fed corner is rich in soft corals and gorgonians and draws Napoleon wrasse, snapper, jacks and occasional reef sharks, with a pretty coral garden in the sheltered bay. A rewarding drift dive when the current runs.
