Straights of Tiran
Strait of Tiran
The Strait of Tiran lies north- east of Naama bay and is delimited to the west by the coast of Sinai and to the east by the island of Tiran.
Jackson Reef, Woodhouse Reef, Thomas Reef and Gordon Reef are four very popular reefs situated in this canal.
The topographical arrangement of these reefs and the presence of prevailing winds from the north mean their western and northern sides are much more exposed to the action of waves than the eastern and southern ones which are more sheltered.
Strong currents are characterising the Strait of Tiran and they carry with them great quantities of plankton and other nutrients every day supplying food to the corals and hence the increased presence of reef fish who in turn are eaten by the large pelagic predators such as sharks, jack fish barracuda and tuna. Consequently you are sure to see not only an infinite number of corals but also plenty of reef and pelagic fauna.
