Ras Abu Soma, Egypt
The northern end of Safaga Bay is defined by the Somabay headland in Ras Abu Soma. This headland, known as "Ras" in Arabic, features a steep wall that descends to a 25m deep plateau, with the main current flowing from the north. The plateau is home to ancient table corals, some reaching sizes of up to 4m, as well as a steep wall.
