Lighthouse Reef
ريف الفنار
A shore-dive reef at the northern end of Masbat Bay in Dahab. Easy to enter from the beach, it is the first choice for certification courses, night dives and snorkeling.
Lighthouse Reef is right at the northern end of the Masbat promenade. Several dive centers along the shore enter the water directly from here. The reef slopes gently from shallow to deep, with lionfish, moray eels, octopus and large patches of soft coral. It is often used for open-water courses, night dives and freediving practice. Snorkelers can enter the water from the stairs on the shore. Near the entry point, there is a lighthouse landmark and a café, and sitting by the sea at sunset is very pleasant. Stay clear of boat channels and do not touch the coral.
