About this site

A small isolated island at the far south of the Egyptian Red Sea, fringed by a shallow reef top (-0.5 m) that plunges to walls exceeding 100 m on the north, south and west. Named points (North, East around -25 m, South and West) are swept by current on all sides, with a single boat mooring off the south.
