Habili Radir Soraya is a renowned reef formation located in Qesm Marsa Alam along Egypt’s Red Sea coast. This intermediate-level dive site features dramatic underwater topography with coral-covered pinnacles rising from depths of 40-60 meters, making it ideal for experienced divers.

The site is characterized by vibrant hard and soft coral gardens teeming with Red Sea marine life. Divers encounter colorful reef fish, including groupers, snappers, and anthias, along with occasional sightings of reef sharks and rays. The nutrient-rich waters support diverse invertebrate life, from nudibranchs to sea urchins.

Visibility typically ranges from 15-25 meters, depending on seasonal conditions. The strong currents common to this area create dynamic diving conditions that demand proper buoyancy control and experience. The reef’s structure offers excellent photo opportunities of coral formations and pelagic species.
