Due to its somewhat remote and not easy to access location, Gabr el-Bint is one of Dahab's, if not Sinai's, best preserved dive sites. You will need to hire a 4X4, a camel, or go on a diving boat trip to get there. Traditionally, divers have two ways of exploring this amazing reef. You would either choose to explore the right side of the reef, also called the "dark side" which is a 60 metre drop-off with beautiful corals on the way. The left side is a lot more colourful, with amazing gorgonians. Regular visitors of the site include reef species of all sorts, including anthias, scorpion fish, parrot fish, stingrays, snappers and even sometimes turtles.
