Ras Za´atar is a rocky reef, which lies 9.6 miles from Naama Bay and 5.9 miles fom Ras Umm Sid, and delimits the Marsa Bareika inlet to the south. The dive at Ras Za´atar is always carried out as a drift dive. Most frequently, the dives lead northeast, with the reef on your left. After descending for 28-30 meters to observe some beautiful large gorgonians and colonies of black coral, it is a good idea to ascend up to about 15 meters' depth to investigate the overgrown reef wall.

While you are there, you should not miss the spectacular wide split, that begins precisely at this depth and narrows towards the surface, becoming a true chimney. In these recesses the typical inhabitants of gullies and crevices meet, such as the Lionfish, Glassfish and some large Malabar groupers. Once you have left the cape behind, you will advance into the interior of the bay from Marsa Bareika, where next to the many coral pinnacles that create a genuine coral garden, a great number of reef fish and sea turtles can be observed.
