Shaab Sabina

Also known as: Shaab Sabrina · Shaab Sabena · Fufuleya · Sabina Garden · Sabina Walls · Reef Sabina · Sabina Reef

A pointed tongue of reef on the east side of Big Giftun marks the site; its south side is bare, but to the north a coral garden stretches away as alternating coral ridges and sand patches. Mina Diving compares the cascading garden to a Japanese garden, and divers can weave freely between and through the coral formations. Beyond the tongue lies a shallow lagoon with its entrance at only 2 to 3 m, home to clams, pencil urchins and yellow chromis among staghorn corals. Turtles, eagle rays, pufferfish and bannerfish are regular sightings. Its position in the channel keeps it diveable in almost any weather.
