Marsa Alam, Red Sea, Egypt
Sha'ab Maksur has two plateaus, one to the north and one to the south, covered in soft corals and fan corals, and a small lagoon in the middle of the west side. Tuna, barracuda and surgeonfish appear in large numbers. At the drop-off, hammerhead sharks, manta rays and even tiger sharks may appear. In the Hamata region, diving is usually best from May to October, when there is less wind and the sea is less choppy.
