About this site
Beneath the calm surface near Dahab lies a mesmerizing seagrass meadow teeming with garden eels. These slender creatures sway in the current, retreating into their sandy burrows as divers approach. The gentle slope and excellent visibility make it ideal for all skill levels. Watch for stingrays gliding over the sandy patches and colorful reef fish darting between the eels. The shallow depth and mild currents create a relaxed dive, perfect for underwater photography. The contrast between the sandy bottom and vibrant coral formations adds to the site's charm.
