Abu Kefan is a legendary offshore reef near Safaga, considered one of the best dive sites in the Egyptian Red Sea. This massive reef pillar rises from deep water with sheer walls covered in spectacular soft corals and gorgonian fans. Grey reef sharks, whitetip reef sharks, and large schools of barracuda patrol the deeper sections, while the shallow reef top hosts a dazzling array of hard corals and anemonefish. Strong currents bring nutrient-rich water, supporting an incredible density of marine life at every depth.
