Zabargad

Zabargad is one of the most beautiful and mysterious islands in southern Egypt, located very close to Rocky Island. Known for its unique landscape of sandy beaches, lagoons, and rugged hills, it also has a rich history—ancient Egyptians once mined the semi-precious gemstone peridot here.
The underwater world of Zabargad is diverse and stunning. Surrounding reefs feature calm coral gardens teeming with marine life, while deeper drop-offs attract tuna, barracuda, hammerheads, reef sharks, and silky sharks. On the island’s southern side, an unidentified shipwreck lies partially encrusted by coral, adding to the site’s allure.

Zabargad offers a mix of relaxed reef dives and thrilling drift dives, making it a perfect destination for divers seeking both beauty and adventure in a pristine natural setting.
