Ras Za`atar
★★★★☆
(3,600)
Most northern dive of Ras Mohamed National Park, this site is the southern entrance to the bay of Mersa Bareika. This is where the steep wall of Ras Mohamed, with caves and overhangs, meets the gentle slope of the bay of Marsa Bareika
Colorful coral heads. Head north along the wall amongst big overhangs and dark gullies, the wall is swathed in sea fans, gorgonians and the odd sprig of black coral.
