The Blue Hole is the most famous spot in Dahab and one of the best-known reefs in the Red Sea. For snorkellers it is easy to reach and full of life. Here is what you will see and how to enjoy it safely.
The Blue Hole is a natural sinkhole in the reef, more than 100 metres deep, about 8 km north of Dahab, where the mountains of South Sinai drop straight into the sea. From the shore you see a ring of turquoise water around a circle of deep blue. A row of small restaurants and cafés lines the beach.
The life is on the rim. Snorkelling along the edge you see hard and soft corals, angelfish, butterflyfish, parrotfish, lionfish and clownfish in their anemones, with the blue of the deep below you. On the shore, look for the fossilised reef in the rocks.
The deep centre and the arch below it are for experienced technical divers only. Snorkellers stay at the surface along the reef, where it is calm and safe, with your guide nearby. Enter and leave the water at the marked points to protect the coral.
The water is clear all year. The morning is quieter, before the dive groups arrive. In winter the water is cooler, so a short wetsuit is a good idea.
