Shaab El Mathaf — dive site guide

Also known as Gotta Eshta, Erg Gubar

Shaab El Mathaf is a reef at Wadi Gamal National Park, on the Marsa Alam coast in the far south. The deepest documented point is around 27 m. Published positions disagree, so the map shows an approximate area. We dive it as a day trip with a road transfer from Hurghada.
