Dahab, South Sinai, Egypt
An unnamed stretch of wall two kilometres beyond the southernmost named site on the coast — a boat dropping divers on nothing in particular, which this far south is enough.

Sparse map: the coastline and the reef edge about 2 km along the coast south of Gabr el Bint, with the boat drop on the wall. The reef edge lies 40-80 m seaward of the coarse OpenStreetMap coastline and the drop point is approximate; the site coordinate itself lies about 700 m offshore, so the drawing sits west of the origin.

There is no dive-guide entry for this because it is not a dive site, it is a position. The boat that runs to Gabr el Bint carried on south another two kilometres and put divers in on the wall there.
That works on this coast because the wall is continuous: the Gulf of Aqaba is a flooded transform fault and the reef runs unbroken along the fault scarp for tens of kilometres, so any point on it is a wall dive. What varies is how many people have been there, and two kilometres past the last named site the answer is close to none.
Dived 9 August 2008 to 27.6 m for 53 minutes, the second dive of the Gabr el Bint boat day.
