Pharao's Island Pinnacle is an intermediate dive site near Taba featuring a submerged coral pinnacle rising from the seabed near the historic Pharaoh's Island. The pinnacle creates a gathering point for marine life, with schools of snapper, fusiliers, and bannerfish circling the formation. The deeper base hosts moray eels and lionfish, while the top is crowned with healthy hard corals. The combination of the underwater pinnacle and the visible Crusader fortress above creates a uniquely atmospheric diving experience in the Gulf of Aqaba.
