The beaches are equipped with everything necessary for recreation, there are canopies and sun loungers. The microclimate is mild, it is rarely windy, even in winter, and the sea is surprisingly deep in color, which is generally small, where you will see. Reefs are often enclosed by buoys, so that many boats and catamarans do not swim for them, bringing divers to Ras Umm al-Sid.

Diving in Ras Umm al-Side
Whichever hotel bay you choose, vivid impressions of the rich underwater world and spectacular coral walls are guaranteed. You can get acquainted with marine life, swimming with a mask and a breathing tube (this process is called snorkeling), but it is best to dive under water. Only in this way you can see all the beauty of coral rocks and gorges in full and get acquainted with an even greater number of marine inhabitants, from lionfishes to moray eels.
In Ras Umm al-Side, almost every hotel has dive centers, as well as separate schools of diving. Accompanying instructors will help you overcome the undercurrents of the reefs and show the most spectacular sections of the walls, overgrown with corals and going into the abyss. Already the first diving experiences of 14-20 m, thanks to the remarkable transparency of the water (visibility of 20 m and this is not the limit!), Will show you much more than what you could see from the sea.
