About this site
Catalog

Um Halhala is a remote reef in the northern Siyul area reached on longer day-boat trips from El Gouna, offering pristine, lightly dived coral formations. Hard and soft coral blocks rise from sandy channels patrolled by groupers, trevally, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. Its isolation and clear water make it a rewarding intermediate dive away from the crowds.
