Jetty-entry coral reef on Sharm's north coast
Jetty-entry coral reef on Sharm's north coast
Ras Nasrani is a north-Sharm coral reef with jetty access and a flexible route layout, so it works well as a calm Red Sea reef dive or snorkel day. The main line runs across a descending wall, sandy bays, and a coral garden, while the outside reef gives a more exposed, current-aware option. It is a good fit for easy reef time with enough structure and fish life to keep the dive interesting.

Match the route to the day’s current and your gas plan, and keep the outside line for calmer conditions.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Two dives can be done from the entry point: one inside the reef toward land and one outside the reef where current may be present.
Freediving
The shallow inside reef can work for snorkeling or shallow freediving, but the outside wall is mainly a scuba line.
Snorkeling
Snorkelers should stay on the sheltered inside line, where the reef structure is easier to enjoy without pushing into the current.
