2- Na’ama Bay

Many people go to Na’ama Bay when they come to Sharm el Sheikh. The bay is a great place to take photos, and there are many places to eat, shop, and stay nearby. Even though El Fanar Beach doesn’t have a reef, it is an excellent place to spend the night or go for a walk.

3- Tiran Island

Tiran Island looks like the back of a whale when it comes out of the water. The mountain is rocky and almost entirely devoid of plants. A reef barrier goes around the mountain range, preventing water from getting in. Tourists come to these reefs because local experts tell them they won’t find a better place to go scuba diving anywhere else. This makes the reefs a good place for scuba divers to go.

There is a lot of beautiful and plentiful sea life in the waters right off the coast of Tirana. The water is so clear that you can see every detail of the underwater world, from rocks covered in coral to schools of darting fish to giant turtles and graceful dolphins to a wide range of shells, sponges, and other marine life. Because the water is so clear, you can see every part of the underwater scenery.
