Abu Kabrit Reef is one of the most remote and lesser-known dive sites in Egypt, located in the Elba region near the Sudanese border. This reef features a diverse underwater landscape, including steep drop-offs, coral gardens, and sandy slopes, creating ideal conditions for encounters with pelagic species.
Divers can expect to see large schools of barracuda, tuna, and occasionally hammerhead sharks. Hidden among the coral formations are octopuses, moray eels, and shrimp, while vibrant soft corals add a splash of color to the reef.
Due to its remoteness, diving here is an exclusive experience, free from crowds. The crystal-clear waters and strong currents attract an abundance of marine life, making every dive exciting and unpredictable.
During one of our first visits to Abu Kabrit, we witnessed an unforgettable spectacle—at night, illuminated by the yacht's floodlights, three majestic manta rays danced around us in a mesmerizing underwater ballet. Moments like these remind us that even in the most uncharted corners of the Red Sea, incredible surprises await.
