Amphoras is a beginner-friendly dive site near Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt's Red Sea, named after ancient amphora pottery fragments found on the seabed. The shallow reef features a gentle slope with beautiful hard coral gardens and the scattered pottery remnants, creating a fascinating blend of archaeology and marine biology. Anemonefish, lionfish, and blue-spotted stingrays are common residents. The calm conditions and historical curiosity make Amphoras a unique and popular shore dive, especially for those interested in the Red Sea's ancient maritime history.
