| The name of this locality means Christian cape in Arabic. The diving is done from a small
sandy plateau that begins at a depth of about 6 meters, where a sand flow originates
then you head northwards towards the cape, taking advantage of the current, which
ranges from weak to moderate and tends to get faster near the headland. After you
have passed some large gorgonians located at about 20 meters depth, you will come
upon large colonies of mushroom-shaped Porites coral heads; These become even
more numerous beyond the cape. The dive goes through the zone between the reef
slope, which has many small shelters studded with multicoloured Alcyonarians, and the
drop-off situated about 30 meters away. Ras Nasrani has the best shallow coral
available to snorkellers in Sharm.
