Royal Azur Coral

Royal Azur Coral is the house reef associated with a hotel property in the Hurghada area of Egypt’s Red Sea coast, with coordinates (26.99°N, 33.92°E) placing it in the central Hurghada resort zone. The name references the Azur chain of resort hotels present in the Hurghada area; the “Coral” designation indicates the reef directly in front of the property.

Overview

Hotel house reefs in the central Hurghada zone provide convenient shore-entry diving directly from the beach, as is standard for Red Sea resort properties with a fringing reef. The broader Hurghada reef zone features hard and soft corals, diverse reef fish, and clear water with typical visibility of 15–25 metres. House reefs in this area are generally accessible to all certification levels and provide relaxed, convenient diving without the need for a boat.

Marine Life

House reefs in the Hurghada zone support typical central Egyptian Red Sea communities: parrotfish, wrasse, groupers, moray eels, lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays, and schools of damsels and fusiliers. Eagle rays, trumpet fish, puffer fish, clownfish in anemones, and occasional dolphins or sharks have been reported at nearby Hurghada resort house reefs. Octopus and cuttlefish are active on night dives.

Dive Profile

Entry / Exit
