Elphinstone Reef: A Marine Paradise

Nestled in the heart of the Red Sea, Elphinstone Reef stands as a testament to Egypt’s underwater wonders. The reef, renowned for its vibrant coral gardens and diverse marine ecosystem, is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking an unparalleled underwater experience.

The Magnificent Whale Shark

Known as the largest fish in the world, the Whale Shark (Rhincodon typus) is a gentle giant that graces the Red Sea with its presence. Despite their massive size, these filter-feeding sharks are harmless to humans, making them the perfect companions for an unforgettable underwater encounter.

The best time to swim with whale sharks at Elphinstone Reef is from March to June and from September to November. During these months, the water temperature is around 25-28 degrees Celsius, making it comfortable for swimming. The visibility underwater can reach up to 30 meters, allowing you to see these magnificent creatures up close.

Before embarking on a whale shark encounter, it’s essential to follow some safety guidelines. Firstly, always listen to your guide’s instructions and follow their lead. Secondly, avoid touching or disturbing the whale sharks as this can cause them stress. Thirdly, maintain a safe distance from the whale sharks and avoid getting too close to their mouths as they can accidentally swallow you! Lastly, always respect marine life and their habitat.
