Farun Island

Farun Island (Pharaoh's Island) is a beginner-friendly dive site near Taba, located around the historic Crusader fortress island in the Gulf of Aqaba. The fringing reef surrounding the island features healthy coral gardens with a gentle slope accessible to all levels. The historic setting adds a unique dimension to the dive, with the ancient fortress visible from underwater. Fish life is abundant, with schools of sergeant majors, goatfish, and the occasional passing turtle. A culturally and naturally rich diving experience.
