About this site
El Erug is a dive at Hurghada on the Red Sea, and it is really three sites in one: Erug Diana, Erug Giftun and Erug Gigi. They are clusters of seven, seven and eleven coral pinnacles spread over a vast sandy plain north of Gota Abu Ramada.
With so many look-alike towers, navigation by compass, current or sun angle matters more here than depth. The dive runs to 12 to 14 metres and is rated easy. The pinnacle tops are the prettiest part, which makes the safety stop one of the highlights. Several species of moray eel live here, along with typical Red Sea reef fish around every pinnacle.
