Sanganeb

The Sanganeb coral reef is truely a beautiful place to dive or snorkel. The reef itself, has one of the richest coral displays in the Red Sea.

The British built lighthouse is situated on the reef and close by there are caves and gullies for the avid diver to visit.

You do not have to dive deeply to see the rich sea life and this is why Sanganeb is also great for snorkelling.

There are two Sudanese men who take it in turns to live in the lighthouse (they rotate every 4/5 weeks) and love to welcome visitors. You can climb to the top of the lighthouse and look out over the coral reef which is crystal clear and an incredible sight to see.

Every person who has climbed the lighthouse comes back with a different number of stairs that they have climbed - they never seem to agree on the number of stairs that are in the lighthouse!
