Boat-accessed Safaga reef with coral blocks and ledges.
Gamul Soraya is a boat-accessed Safaga reef with a compact coral block, surrounding ledges, and a strong Red Sea fish mix in clear water. It works well for divers who want a straightforward reef profile with enough structure to keep every pass interesting, and it is especially useful when you want a calm, readable site that still gives you big-life sightings in the blue.
