Umm Gamar

Two exposed coral pinnacles rising from deep water northeast of Hurghada. Clear water, dense hard coral and the chance of larger pelagic life make this a standout site when sea and current conditions are suitable.

A long reef north of Hurghada with a shallow plateau, coral blocks and a gradual drop-off. It is a dependable choice for relaxed dives and a good place to look for moray eels, lionfish and rays along the sand.

A compact coral island often called the Aquarium for its busy marine life. Sheltered sections, sandy patches and gentle depths make it one of Hurghada's most rewarding sites for newer divers, while the outer reef keeps experienced divers interested.
