Ben el Gebel

Ben el Gebel is an intermediate dive site near Hurghada in Egypt's Red Sea, translating to 'between the mountains' - referring to the two coral pinnacles that define this site. Divers navigate between the formations, discovering overhangs carpeted in soft corals and swimthroughs inhabited by glassfish. Lionfish, scorpionfish, and giant moray eels are commonly found along the walls. The moderate depth and occasional currents keep things interesting for certified divers, while the rich reef ecosystem provides constant marine life encounters.
