Erg Sabina
Why dive here
With 42+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, humpback whales, seahorses, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Erg Sabina offers some of Hurghada's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 21-29°C, warmest July, August, September.
Erg Sabina is a reliable spot just a short hop from Hurghada. We often tie up here when looking for a relaxed dive, and it rarely disappoints. Keep an eye out for the Red Sea clown surgeons and the tiny black blennies tucked into the coral; they’re always a good find. The real treat here, though, is the chance to spot larger pelagics – we’ve had everything from sleek unicornfish to the occasional cowfish drift past. It’s a great site for photographers who want to take their time, or for newer divers looking to build confidence without battling strong currents.
