About this site
Shaab Maksour is a reef system in the southern Egyptian Red Sea, off the coast between Marsa Alam and Hamata, typically visited by liveaboards operating in that stretch of water. The coordinates place it in an offshore area of scattered reefs and pinnacles well south of the main Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh dive hubs.
