Gabr el Bint ranks among one of the most attractive sites of North Sinai. With the access by boat, 4x4 or by camel, it is less frequently dived than the other dive sites in Dahab which has left this site in pristine condition. Gabr el Bint means 'The Grave of the Girl' in Arabic. There are two dives possible here. The ledge is riddled with exquisite coral heads that attract numerous reef species, including swarms of anthias, scorpionfish, parrotfish, crocodilefish, surgeonfish, triggerfish, trumpetfish, stingrays and very often a turtle. At the end of the ledge usually is home to a shoal of black and white snappers and twinspot snappers hang here between 5m and 10m. One of the truly breathtaking dives in Dahab.

A very interesting and beautiful dive site. It is a coral wall with sandy paths that go deep. There are a lot of animals on the wall, turtles, eaglets, tuna and very rarely even sharks can be found in the water column. On the left is a shallow enclosed lagoon where you can meet stingrays, octopuses, squid, and milk fish. The dive site is suitable for any level of training - you can choose a depth from 5 to 40 meters.
