Shaab Hamdallah is a captivating dive site located at the southernmost point of the Safaga region in Egypt’s Red Sea. Renowned for its stunning coral formations and diverse marine life, this site offers a unique underwater experience for divers

Underwater Features

Shaab Hamdallah is characterized by a series of coral towers, or “ergs,” that rise from a sandy seabed at depths of 15 to 19 meters. Some of these structures reach up to the surface, creating an intricate and visually striking underwater landscape . The reef’s exposed position means it’s subject to strong currents, making it a preferred spot for experienced divers seeking a more challenging dive

Shaab Hamdallah holds historical importance as it is near the site where the Salem Express ferry tragically sank in 1991 after colliding with a reef. The wreck lies several dozen meters from Shaab Hamdallah and serves as a somber reminder of the sea’s power
