Ras Murat is a beginner-friendly dive site near the Strait of Tiran north of Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt. The reef features a gentle slope with healthy coral gardens transitioning to sandy areas. Schools of goatfish and surgeonfish graze the reef, while blue-spotted stingrays and garden eels inhabit the sandy margins. The site often serves as a sheltered alternative when conditions are too rough for Tiran's exposed reefs. Ras Murat's reliable calm conditions and easy accessibility make it a dependable option for Sharm dive itineraries.
