Blue Hole

The Blue Hole is a world-famous diving and snorkeling site located on the coast of the Red Sea near Dahab in the Sinai Peninsula. This natural underwater sinkhole, approximately 130 meters deep with a diameter of about 60 meters, is one of the most iconic dive sites in the world and attracts divers and snorkelers of all levels with its crystal-clear waters and abundant marine life.

Diving & Snorkeling

For snorkelers, the shallow coral gardens surrounding the rim of the Blue Hole offer spectacular marine life viewing in just a few meters of water. The coral formations are home to hundreds of species of colorful fish, and the clarity of the water often exceeds 30 meters visibility. For advanced divers, the Blue Hole offers the famous Arch — a natural tunnel at 56 meters depth connecting the Blue Hole to the open sea — considered one of the most challenging and rewarding dives in the world.

The Setting

The Blue Hole's coastline features several relaxed cafes and restaurants where visitors can enjoy fresh seafood and traditional Bedouin tea while gazing out over the turquoise waters. The combination of world-class marine life, dramatic underwater geology, and the laid-back Dahab atmosphere makes the Blue Hole a must-visit destination on any Sinai itinerary.
