About this site
Pharaon's Island, also known as Coral Island, sits just off the coast near Nuweiba on the Gulf of Aqaba side of the Sinai Peninsula, close to the Egypt-Israel border. The small island is topped by a restored medieval fortress often attributed to Salah ad-Din, and the surrounding reef waters are reached by short boat trips from Nuweiba town. The dive is rated a beginner site, making it an accessible option for those staying along this stretch of coast.
