About Tiran Island

Discover Tiran Island, located in the Gulf of Aqaba, halfway between Sharm El Sheikh and Saudi Arabia. It offers outstanding views of the Sinai Peninsula and the Arabian Peninsula. You can see this crown jewel of the Red Sea from every direction along the shoreline of Sharm El Sheikh. The four magnificent coral reefs that adorn the ocean floor of Tiran Island make it a haven for snorkelers and scuba divers. Some of these reefs are the Gordon, Jackson, Woodhouse, and Thomas, which you can explore on your Saudi Arabia tour.


Even though you can't go directly to the island, you can swim, snorkel, or scuba dive in the open waters surrounding it. Boats all over the area can take you to the nearby Sanafir Islands, which have coral reefs and an interesting shipwreck close to shore.

Prepare yourself for an unparalleled aquatic adventure at Gordon, Thomas, Woodhouse, and Jackson reefs when you dive into the Red Sea at Tiran Island. These coral reefs are well-known for drawing a wide variety of aquatic creatures due to their rich coral life. You'll see an abundance of reef species, such as groupers, snappers, Barracudas, tuna, and sharks since powerful currents transport nutrients to the reefs. These currents provide easy access to all four scuba diving locations and make drift diving an exciting experience.
