El Malek
★★★★☆
(231)
30 min by boat from Makadi bay, 5 min north of Ras Disha. Beautiful drop off full of marine life. Can be a bit challenging sometimes because of current and the waves but definitely worth a visit if you are in Makadi.
Schools of anthias, damsel fish, octopus, moray eel, turtles, clown fishes, blue spottes sting ray and much more can be spotted there.
