Shaab Sabrina - Hurghada

Shaab Sabrina tends to be one of Hurghada's quieter spots, often chosen as a mooring when other sites are busy. We've found the main draw here is the chance to spend some time exploring the sandy patches between the coral blocks, where we often spot some interesting bottom dwellers like sandfish or even the occasional blue-dashed rockskipper. Look out for dusky wrasse flitting between the coral, and the clown tangs are usually easy to find grazing. It's a relaxed dive, great for knocking out a navigation skill or simply enjoying a calm hour underwater without strong currents to contend with.
