ScubaDahab
Overview
Gabr El Bint is a remote site south of Dahab, reached by boat or a scenic camel trek. Far from the crowds, it offers some of the area's most pristine diving: steep walls draped in gorgonian fans, coral pinnacles and a genuine off-the-beaten-path feel. Usually a full-day trip with two dives.
Conditions & what to expect
A full-day outing with two dives on healthy walls and slopes. Generally calm and very clear; the remoteness means you'll often have the reef to yourselves.
Marine life
Gorgonian sea fans, anthias, snappers, groupers and pelagic visitors along the wall.
Who can dive it
Requires an Advanced Open Water certification with good buoyancy. The walls reward calm, controlled diving.
Getting there and best time
Gabr El Bint is south of Dahab, reached by boat or camel. Best time: a full day on a calm day; it is more exposed to wind than the town sites.
