About this site

Anemone City lies in the Sharm El Sheikh area of the Sinai coast, along the Red Sea near the Strait of Tiran and Ras Mohammed, and is typically reached by boat from Sharm el-Sheikh's harbors. It is a reef dive reaching a maximum depth of around 30 metres, rated advanced due to strong currents. Clownfish are common among the anemones the site is named for, and divers have also reported damselfish, eagle rays, snapper, trevally, and tuna passing through.
