El Aruk - Aruk Giftun is a beginner-friendly dive site near Giftun Island off Hurghada in Egypt's Red Sea. The site features a series of coral ergs (pinnacles) surrounded by white sand, creating an underwater garden effect. Each erg is alive with Red Sea species: masked butterflyfish, Picasso triggerfish, and emperor angelfish are highlights. The shallow depth and protected position make it perfect for introductory dives, while the variety of coral formations keeps experienced divers interested on repeat visits.
