Siyul Kebir is a site located off the island of Siyul Kebir in the Strait of Gubal and is reachable by day trip or liveaboard from Sharm El Sheikh or Hurghada.
It consists of a reef composed of dense coral parches, with big valleys and hollows. The north part of the reef is subject to currents and is richer in corals while the south part is more sheltered and can be a great place to snorkel.
Pelagic animals are frequently spotted at Siyul Kebir, and along with the usual reef species, you may see some leopard and nurse sharks resting on the sandy bottom.
