Egypt’s Red Sea is one of the world’s top destinations for shark diving, offering exceptional visibility, diverse shark species, and warm waters throughout the year. Unlike many other diving locations, the Red Sea does not have a fixed shark season—encounters depend largely on choosing the right itinerary and the expertise of your dive guide.
Shark sightings are frequent at Egypt’s top dive sites, including Daedalus, Elphinstone, Rocky Island, and Zabargad. You may encounter hammerheads, oceanic whitetips, threshers, and even tiger sharks in their natural habitat.
