Shaab Sharm

Shaab Sharm is a stunning offshore reef located southeast of Marsa Alam, at Wadi Gimal national protectorate, known for its steep drop-offs, vibrant coral formations, and rich marine life. The site features impressive vertical walls covered in soft corals, gorgonians, and black corals, attracting large schools of barracudas, trevallies, and tunas. Due to strong currents, Shaab Sharm is an excellent spot for drift diving and often offers encounters with reef sharks, eagle rays, and occasionally hammerheads. The reef also has a plateau at around 20-25 meters, where divers can explore coral bommies teeming with life.
