Ras Nasrani
A headland ('Christian Cape') north of Sharm at the entrance to the Tiran strait, dived as a drift from the jetty along a hard-coral wall with fusiliers in the blue. Around the corner the current brings richer soft corals, and the shallows of massive porites shelter scorpionfish and stonefish; a coral garden at 5–14 m has gorgonians and a red anemone.
