Situated immediately south of Ras Banas, Foul Bay extends all the way to Egypt’s border with Sudan.

Beyond the sheltered coves, Zabargad offers thrilling walls and strong currents as well as the Khanka Wreck and sightings of oceanic whitetips, grey reef sharks, hammerheads, silvertips and manta rays.

Although the southern Red Sea experiences wind throughout the year, the stronger winter winds can occasionally cause liveaboard trips to reroute and some operators may avoid departing altogether.
