Shaab Alam

This exciting reef is located 25 minutes off Marsa Alam. Here you will find a wreck, cavern systems and one of the most beautiful mountain coral gardens. Almost all the liveaboard boats that depart from Marsa Alam will make their first and maybe last dive of the safari here. Shaab Marsa Alam is also a nice place for night diving.

• Shaab Marsa Alam is 350m to 400m long and shaped like an inverted L. In the north it starts with 50m width and expands to 80m until the beginning of the lagoon in the middle.
• Then it continues on the east side with a width of 10 to 20m like a barrier to the south.
• There are some real sights: In the lower part of the lagoon, west of the barrier, at a depth of 12 to 15m, there are two coral blocks - a large one of 1 by 20m and a smaller one of 6 by 6m.
• They stretch from the northeast to the southwest and are so intergrown that they look like a reef of their own.
• They are nicely overgrown with hard and soft corals in the upper part. There is a small cavern system to explore.
• In the northeast you can still find the remains of a sunken safari boat. Here you will encounter crocodile fish, moray eels and schools of snappers.
• To the north and west there is another beautiful coral garden. Both contain cleaning stations, are dotted with sandy areas and are home to garden eels, schools of barbels, snappers and other reef fish.
• You can find moray eels, octopus, snails and cheeky nemos. Both sites are easiest to access by Zodiac.
• The way back to the boat is doable, in any case you make it in sight of the safari boat to be picked up by the Zodiac.
