Introduction
Lighthouse Reef sits off Dahab's northern shore, an easy shore dive named for the small beacon nearby. Sheltered, coral-crowded shallows swarm with clownfish, butterflyfish and lionfish, while blue-spotted rays rest on the sand. Calm and current-free, it is where most Dahab beginners take their first breaths underwater.
