Shaab El Erg is an intermediate offshore reef near Hurghada famous for its resident pod of bottlenose dolphins. Divers descend to 25 meters along a coral-covered reef while dolphins play and interact in the blue water above. Beyond the dolphins, the reef itself is in excellent condition with diverse coral formations and abundant fish life. The site is accessible by boat from Hurghada and is one of the most popular dive sites in the area. The combination of dolphins and beautiful reef makes this an unforgettable experience.
