The dive sites in the Northern Sinai are different to those in the South. While in the South, walls and currents animate the divers to drift diving by boat, in the Nuweiba area, we dive from shore. The sites here usually begin from the beach on a sandy slope, and progress onto coral gardens, reef walls or barrier reefs. Many dives feature stunning drop offs, ravines, chimneys and canyons. The seas here are generally calm and without strong current, making Nuweiba an excellent place to learn to dive. As Nuweiba is still a relaxed and small Town, we often find ourselves the only divers at a dive site, offering us a truely peaceful and undisturbed dive, over pristine corals.

But Nuweiba has to offer much more than that! We are in the perfect location to organise excursions to the stunning SINAI DESERT and Mountains, with all its canyons, mountain peaks and oases. You can find further information about non-diving activities here...


Nuweiba is home to a huge variety of fish and both soft and hard corals. Even if you will not find pelagic fish such as Sharks or Manta Rays here very often, you can regularly see large Barracuda, Jackfish and Snappers hunting, Turtles grazing and Moray Eels swimming between the pinacles. Nuweiba is especially popular with macro photographers, who choose Nuweiba as the best area to get exciting and varied pictures


The reefs here have a large variety of soft and hard corals. This offers a home to a number of different shrimps and crabs, nudibranches, and in particular acts as a nursery for young fish. The sandy plateaus and areas of Sea grass are home to both Sea Horses and Sea Moths. In addition, you might also find the black spotted stingray, usually not found in the southern Red Sea.

Ras Mumlah Diving Camp continues in 2008/09

Already 20 years ago, camping trips to this stunning dive site were organized. At that time, egypt's diving industry wasn't yet developed and divers had a long journey via Isreal to finally get to Ras Mumlah. However, over the years it became an insider tip amongst divers worldwide and a couple of hundreds came to dive in this prisine underwater paradise.
Today, Ras Mumlah is part of the Ras Abu Galum National Protectorate, and when it became part of the National Park, camping was restricted. African Divers Nuweiba is proud to now be able to offer this stunning excursion again - excluively for our customers.
