Ras Nasrani

Ras Nasrani means "Cape of the Christian" and is situated at the beginning of the Gulf of Aqaba and the Straits of Tiran. The reef is well covered in hard and soft corals, with lots of massive coral heads. A good location to look out for larger marine life such as whale sharks and manta rays. Sea turtles are also a common sight when they come to feed on the coral. Diving is to the south of the reef where the reef plate is shallow. The northern part of the reef is deeper and therefore usually dived first. Take care as currents are often strong!
