Diving in Ras Abu Galum is a truly enchanting experience that combines breathtaking underwater scenery with a unique camping adventure. The South part of this dive site is renowned for its stunning coral gardens, which are among the most vibrant and well-preserved in the Red Sea. As an avid diver, I found this location to be a perfect blend of natural beauty and cultural immersion.
Upon arriving at Ras Abu Galum, I was immediately captivated by the crystal-clear waters and the rich biodiversity that thrives beneath the surface. The coral gardens are a diver's paradise, teeming with colorful fish and intricate coral formations. It’s a haven for underwater photographers and nature lovers alike, as every dive reveals a new array of marine life, from playful clownfish to majestic rays gliding gracefully through the water.
What sets Ras Abu Galum apart is the opportunity to experience a true Bedouin adventure. Accessible only by boat or camel, the site offers a sense of seclusion and tranquility that is hard to find elsewhere. The original Bedouin huts provide a cozy and authentic lodging experience, allowing you to immerse yourself in the local culture. Spending the night under a blanket of stars is nothing short of magical, and sharing a traditional dinner with friends and fellow travelers makes for unforgettable memories.
The mornings are equally delightful, with a delicious breakfast served as you soak in the peaceful surroundings. The combination of diving during the day and enjoying the beauty of the desert at night creates a well-rounded adventure that caters to both thrill-seekers and those looking to unwind.
For adventure lovers, Ras Abu Galum is a must-visit destination. The allure of its coral gardens, coupled with the unique opportunity to camp in a picturesque setting, makes this experience truly special. Whether you're a seasoned diver or a novice, Ras Abu Galum offers an adventure that will leave you with lasting memories and a deeper appreciation for the beauty of the Red Sea. I highly recommend this hidden gem for anyone looking to combine diving with an authentic cultural experience!... Show More
