The Seven Pilars

The Seven Pillars is a distinctive intermediate dive site in Soma Bay near Safaga, named after seven coral towers that rise from the sandy seafloor. These impressive pinnacles are covered in colorful soft corals and act as gathering points for schools of glassfish, sweepers, and anthias. Between the pillars, divers may encounter hunting lionfish, moray eels peeking from crevices, and octopuses camouflaged against the reef. The site offers excellent underwater photography opportunities.
