Ras Umm Sid is the name of the cape, on which you can find a larger lighthouse that marks the beginning of the Strait of Gubal. This area famous for the extraordinary proliferation of gorgonians that create a veritable forest here, the most beautiful in all of the entire northern Red Sea. A dive depth of 25 meters is necessary in order to pass through the famous gorgonian forest. Afterwards ascend to the sandy plateau at 14 meters' depth, where you will come across hundreds of reef fish, such as Lionfish and Parrotfish.
