Gabr El Bint is translated literally as ‘the Tomb of the girl’ and is an hour’s boat ride south of Dahab. Gabr El Bint falls within the protected area of Nabq National Park and upon arrival here one becomes immediately aware of the remoteness and tranquillity of the region.
You will see large Gorgonian Fan corals at a depth of around 20 metres. Table corals, Alcyonarians, black corals and salad corals are also found on the reef plate here. Reef fauna likely to be seen here include Parrotfish, Anthias, Crocodilefish, Triggerfish and Blue Spotted stingrays. You may even encounter an Eagle Ray gliding over the reef. Out in the blue schools of Trevallies, Snapper and Emperorfish are common.
