Two parallel reef arms enclose a sandy lagoon; the southern arm carries a series of short swim-throughs and an undercut wall at 18–22 m where juvenile whitetip reef sharks occasionally rest on the sand during the day.

About this site

A dramatic shore site 15 km north of Marsa Alam at the foot of Gebel El Rosas mountain. Two parallel reef arms enclose a sandy lagoon; the southern arm carries a series of short swim-throughs and an undercut wall at 18–22 m where juvenile whitetip reef sharks occasionally rest on the sand during the day. Hard-coral cover on the plateau is well preserved, and the site is rarely crowded thanks to a longer drive than the closer-to-town sites.

Highlights

  • Series of short swim-throughs along the southern reef arm
  • Juvenile whitetip reef sharks sometimes resting at 18–22 m
  • Pristine hard-coral plateau, well-preserved fire corals
  • Dramatic mountain backdrop above water

Mooie wandeling vanaf Brayka Bay naar Gabal el Rosas Bay langs het strand. Ongeveer 2,5 kilometer.

Pięknie, cichutko, na miejscu plaża można wynająć leżak albo popływać na dziko na własną odpowiedzialność, rafa w niezłym stanie, obok centrum nurkowe ale można sobie przyjść spacerkiem z okolicznych hoteli. Uwaga na centrum nurkowe, jeden Pan mówi że można pływać bo woda jest darmowa a inny że powinniśmy zapłacić za to że przeszliśmy kawałkiem ‚ich’ (nieogrodzonej) plaży

Hezké potápění, korály částečně uhynulé. Velké množství ryb. Potápění za velmi silného větru a velkých vln, tímto snížena viditelnost. Přesto super.
