Beach Nature / Park

Also known as the Oriental Bay, Gebel El Rosas attracts underwater enthusiasts with its reef and colorful marine creatures. Its sandy entrance, well-protected from strong winds, offers safe diving and snorkeling opportunities year-round. Sloping down 40 m (131 ft) deep underwater, the reef offers picturesque coral landscapes, sea-anemone gardens, and a series of caverns. If you prefer to stay on the shore, bring binoculars and try to spot dolphins. Note that the water can get quite murky during strong winds.

  Amazing bay with direct access from the sea, easy for beginners and wonderful for diving. Colorful area where you can find corals yellow, purple, red, blue but also fish of all kinds, from crossbows, to clowns. There are also breeds and turtles to surround this living aquarium. Worth seeing.
