Dive sites

During your diving holiday in Makady Bay, you have the chance to explore several interesting diving areas underwater. First of all, the small corners of Makadi Bay are perfect for a first dive or for PADI and SSI training exercises. Further offshore, Sahl Hashish, a very long reef split into several places, has a beautiful turquoise sandy lagoon, The Lagoon, as well as pinnacles where triggerfish and bannier fish are concentrated. Rays are buried in the sediment. Take the opportunity during your diving trip to Makadi Bay to visit Abu Ramada, around reef.

A real gem of a coral reef, with magnificent biodiversity, you will be able to swim around it in one hour. After a launch to the north of the reef, return by drift dive along the slopes covered with beautiful coral in the shape of fingers, stag horns, tables, porites. Cruise ships often stop here on their way north for rehabilitation dives. The Aquarius and Scubaworld brands in Makady Bay include dive centers in the best spots in the Red Sea.

Expand your scope of the investigation and visit the best dive spots in Hurghada and Safaga. Dive Hurghada's Police Station and its collection of orange gorgonians around the Giftun Islands. Head to the Salem Express in Safaga for a sumptuous wreck dive. There are some great photos to be taken of the S-shaped chimney, the propeller, and the rowboats on the sand. Observe the infinitely small with many that wander on its hull, on the port side, at 13m.

Others Activities

And if not, there are beautiful private sandy beaches with sunbeds, umbrellas, towels, and showers nearby. Are you a golfer or do you dream of becoming one? Your diving holiday at Makadi Bay can be combined with a round on the 18-hole Madinat Makadi golf course, the longest in the region at 6,880 meters. It's ideal for concentrating on the desert mountain scenery and the sparkling sea with its year-round sunshine.
