About Rainbow Reef
Rainbow Reef in Aqaba’s marine-park zone is a gently sloping reef named for its arc shape and colorful coral growth. Divers typically descend onto sand and follow the telecom cables to the reef edge, where a shallow gully and wall run along the north side. The route is compact and works well for relaxed laps and night dives, with the cable area forming an artificial-reef section. Shore or boat access is common; plan entries around marine-park guidance and operator briefings.
