About this site
Ras El Muqabillia lies along the Sinai coast near Nuweiba, a town on the Gulf of Aqaba between Dahab and Taba. This stretch of coastline is characterized by fringing reef running close to shore, with dive access typically arranged from Nuweiba itself. Divers here have reported day octopus, Indian lionfish, network pipefish, Schultz's pipefish, Steinitz's shrimpgoby, and yellowspotted scorpionfish along the reef.
