Located at the entrance of the straits of Tiran, the Tiran Island is a must-see destination during any Sharm el-Sheikh holiday. While the clear blue waters surrounding the island are a diver’s paradise, the island alone is worth the 1-hour boat excursion from Sharm’s shore because its stunning beaches are just as gorgeous as the underwater wonders below. The water is 1800 m deep in this part of the Aqaba Gulf and it is very probable to spot sharks, manta rays and barracudas in the deeper waters.
