    Abu Galawa Soraya is a decent stop if you're exploring the southern Red Sea. It’s got a small wreck, probably a sailing boat, with a reasonable amount of coral growth around it. While not typically a big pelagic site, we have noted dolphins here on occasion. It’s a good, straightforward dive for all skill levels, especially if you enjoy poking around a minor wreck.
