Beach and coral reef in Ras Um Sid bay

Ras Um Sid Baech and Reef
Egypt, Sharm el-Sheikh
Ras Oum Sid Bay is not only a great place for a beach holiday, but also a wonderful place for diving, snorkeling and observing the diverse marine life. The coastline here smoothly descends to a depth of about 20 m from the surface, which creates the most comfortable conditions for divers. Near the bay there is a wall of beautiful gorgon corals, and in the numerous caves and grottoes of the reef hide moray eels, lionfish, huge groupers and hundreds of different fish. During strong currents, flocks of barracudas and tropical horse mackerels can be found near the reef. The magnificent beach is famous for its huge coral column that drops down to 60 m. Experienced divers regularly make night dives here.
Ras Oum Sid is a quiet area with many hotels along the coastline, so you can really relax and unwind on its local beaches. In the bay of Ras Um Sid, a lighthouse rises on a rock, and sandy beaches are divided between hotels and equipped with everything necessary for relaxation.

A huge sandy beach, a lively colorful reef, and just hundreds of fish. And every time I saw something new. Several species of butterfly fish, angels, abudefdufs, surgeons, clowns, parrots constantly feed over the reef (they are not afraid of people at all). I just couldn't find the name of the others in the directory. I saw sea urchins and moray eels. With a full face mask, forget about time and get great pleasure. And drowning with her is generally unrealistic. I swam 20 meters from the shore to the reef, although there are 2 piers, corals are not needed.

Ras Um Sid Bay is considered one of the most beautiful snorkeling bays in Sharm. We made long swims both north and south of the hotel. The corals are quite beautiful, especially to the north of the hotel. However, after the beauty of Marsa Alam, we had little living creatures. Of the interesting things we saw: flocks of butterflies, orgomic jacks, a large painted aluter, surgeons, rhinos, a titanium triggerfish, a giant moray eel (more than 3 meters), arotrons and hedgehogs, sweet lips, grunts, flutes, perches, colored groupers.
