Sharm el-Sheikh

The main shopping street of Sharm, "King of El Bahrain Kingdom Street". It gets rather noisy here at night, with a whole bunch of loudspeakers each trying to drown out it's neighbours. An open air Arabic cafe is at bottom right

Gulf of Suez: Shaab Ali from the air. The land mass to the left is the Sinai. The triangular reef is Sha'ab el Deqayeq. The star wreck in this area is of course the Thistlegorm, which lies between Deqayeq and the longish twin reefs next to it. The right one of the twin reefs is Sha'ab Ali. The northernmost of the two small blue islands immediately above Sha'ab Ali is Shag Rock, home to the wreck of the Sarah H.

Ras Mohammed, supposed to resemble Prophet Mohammed's profile. It's a marine park, and there are sensational dive stops in this area! My favourite is the "twin tower" dive: two giant neighbouring coral towers, Shark Reef and Yolanda Reef, with amazing 90° vertical walls disappearing into the blue darkness below (this dive is usually standard on most Ras Mohammed trips)

Most have convenient dive platforms at the rear to jump in and ladders to climb back on. The crews are generally very helpful

Setting off on a dive boat from Sharm el Sheikh harbour. You can see the tower-live elevator structure of the luxury hotel there (it used to be the Sheraton Residence, but has since changed hands). This picture was taken in 1996, when all dive boats left from here. Today, most boats conveniently leave directly from Naama Bay harbour, where most of the hotels are located

Gulf of Suez: These are the Straits of Gubal from the air. The longish island at the extreme left (a bit unclear) is Shadwan Island. The two (more clearer) larger islands to it's right are Gubal Island (left) and Tawila Island (right). There are numerous riffs in between Shadwan and Gubal/Tawila which are home to the wrecks of the Chrisoula K., The Giannis D. and the Carnatic, amongst others. Hurghada lies in the mist on the
