Torfa Abu Nugar

Torfa means "the tongue of the reef", and the site is precisely the reef tongue that extends from the northern tip of the Abu Nugar system. The name Nugar describes a road full of holes and stones: fishermen named the Abu Nugar system this way because it is full of small reefs and pinnacles. Along the reef tongue there is a coral garden with large table corals, and the plateau that runs to the drop-off has a coral garden with table corals. On the other side of the ridge are a big brain coral and a coral tower, and the top of the reef has many table corals. Next to the reef tongue there is a small crater-like lagoon.
