Fjord Bay, Taba
خليج الفيورد
A deep blue inlet surrounded by red cliffs. Viewpoints by the road overlook the whole bay, and the bay is a famous dive site.
Fjord Bay lies on the coastal road about 15 km south of Taba. A narrow bay cuts deep into the granite mountains, and its clear blue-green water contrasts strongly with the ochre-red cliffs, making it the most photogenic stop along the coastal road. The reefs and deep water inside the bay are popular dive spots, where groupers, manta rays and soft corals can be seen, and snorkelling also has things to see. The viewpoint is free, and it is often combined with Pharaoh’s Island on the same day.
