    Camel Safari - Ras Abu Galum

    Surcharge for Camel Safari, diving is not included in price. Many varied - and important - ecosystems are present in the protected area of Ras Abu Galum including well developed coral and beautiful coastline bordered by high mountains. Ras Abu Galum can be reached by camels. The one day camel dive safari is the most popular - and best - way to enjoy this famous dive location where two or even three dives can be done in summer. After reaching the Blue Hole by jeep, and loading the camels with the diving equipment, the camel ride will take you on a path along the fascinating rocky coast for an hour and a half. The dives will give you the opportunity to see a fantastic underwater landscape. On the North part of the coast after entering in a pool with sandy bottom, swim over the small ridge of coral and, at about 6 meters, a huge Madrepore tower with plenty of glassfish will be in front of you. Then a hard coral plateau with massive pore coral, beautiful table coral and Broccoli coral will be where Breams, Parrots and Angelfish make their home. On the south part of the dive site, the plateau gives way to a fantastic drop off with a beautiful tower of coral on the top. Huge pufferfish, schools of Trevallies, Emperorfish and Snappers live there. Dive sites can reached via Camel or Boat - depending on how many people we have.
