Shaab Alaya
★★★★☆
(2,179)
Shaab Alaya is dived in a northerly direction. On the stone wall are countless hard and soft corals. Because of the beautiful drop off that starts from 2m till 17m there is a lot of different marine life to find in and on the wall. The structure of the reef gives the possibility to look for the small marine life.
The blue water is laying in front of the reef and there is a high possibility of seeing dolphins, whale sharks, and turtle’s that are passing by.
