Sakhwa Abu Galawa

Also known as: Elsakhwa · Sachua Abu Galawa

Sakhwa Abu Galawa combines a coral wall with coral gardens, sandy plateaus and small pinnacles full of life. It can be dived as a relaxed reef dive or as a drift. Schools of snappers and fusiliers move above the corals, while moray eels and octopus hide in crevices. Bluespotted rays and garden eels live on the sandy patches.
