This is a lively lovely reef South East of Wadi Lahmy (South of Hurghada). Crystal clear waters and an excellent sanctuary for marine life. We saw a baby shark, manta rays, dolphins (of course) among enormous coral columns and gardens. A lot of the coral seems dead, probably a cyclical phemomenon, but the underwater life is simply breathtaking.

It was amazing! We were swimming with dolphins for about one and half hour. I recommend to go in low season.

The dolphins are great, but the tours going there are terrible.
BTW: It seems like all tours use the same group of boats.
Driving boats too close to the dolphins (and swimmers, boat propellers are dangerous)
Also, they are «carpet bombing» the dolphins with tourists. And chasing them down.

An experience of a lifetime, so healing and transformational. The expertise of Al Thuraya Red Sea is a gift given with pleasure, an introduction to the wild dolphins in the lagoon that is personal and spiritual and forever in my heart. My soul spirit is in the sea with the dolphins wherever I am in the world. A Joyous Vortex, an Open Chanel, trust and unity to Mother Earth. ❤️

Unforgettable experience. Exceptionnel to swim with so many dolphins and in this proximity in their natural environment. The excursion was really well organized with a really enjoyable lunch prepared on the boat.
Public Google reviews of Sataya Reef as a dive site - they describe the location itself, not a specific trip with us.
