Introduction
The Islands, a chain of coral pinnacles off Dahab, condenses the Red Sea reef into one site. Divers weave between summits along saddle passages where coral terraces shelter jacks, snappers and lionfish; turtles and reef sharks may appear. Reached by boat, its maze-like layout suits divers and snorkellers alike.
