Where
Gabr el Bint
The far southern site, reachable only by boat, jeep or camel — which is why it is the least damaged reef on the Dahab coast and the only one with a genuinely serious deep side.

Very beautiful coral here. Saw another moray. Then a sizeable school of glassfish. The current was easy. Also saw a couple of big fish. Average heart rate: 84.
