GHADIR RIFFEN
Egypte
The Ghadir Reefs is a group of three artificial reefs: Ghadir El Bar, Aruk Ghadir and Ghadir El Shark. They are deep canyons that are full of anemones. The large coral formations make El Bar and Aruk Ghadir two of the most impressive reefs in the south. In the east it is mainly the stunning coral formations of Ghadir El Shark with tunnels and caves that set the tone. In the winter months high waves make diving more challenging in these areas.
Particulars
Ghadir Reefs can be reached by boat. You will come across all kinds of species here, from turtles, stingrays and groupers to white tip sharks and tunas.
Warnings
The Ghadir Reefs have high waves during the winter months.
