SHA'AB QUAIS
Egypte
Sha'ab Quais consists of two small coral towers which are completely covered with beautiful hard and soft corals. Although this is a beautiful dive site, it's not very well known. This has everything to do with the location, the reef is relatively unprotected from the sometimes harsh weather conditions at sea. The name Sha'ab Quais (Kwais) means 'good reef'.
