About this site
Max's Reef sits off Nuweiba on the Sinai coast of Egypt, along the Gulf of Aqaba where the Red Sea's fringing reefs run close to shore. Nuweiba itself is a smaller, quieter dive base compared to Sharm el-Sheikh or Dahab further south, with sites typically accessed by short boat rides or directly from the beach.
