ScubaDahab
Overview
Ras Abu Galum is a protected Bedouin nature reserve north of the Blue Hole, reached by a memorable camel ride along the coast. The reward is unspoiled reef with almost no other divers: healthy coral, dramatic walls and a real sense of wilderness. A full-day adventure combining two dives with one of Sinai's most beautiful settings.
Conditions & what to expect
A full-day trip: camel ride, then two relaxed dives over walls and coral gardens. Calm, clear water and excellent visibility. Bring sun protection and water for the surface interval.
Marine life
Pristine hard and soft coral, anthias, snappers, morays and frequent turtles.
Who can dive it
Requires an Advanced Open Water certification. The diving itself is easy; the adventure — a camel ride to a remote protectorate — makes it a special full-day outing.
Getting there and best time
Ras Abu Galum is in a protected area north of the Blue Hole, reached by camel or boat. Best time: a full day in spring or autumn; summer is very hot on the camel ride.
