In the past, this location was avoided by the Bedouin tribes residing in the area due to a legend that circulated among them.
It was believed that a curse from the ghost of a girl who took her own life, as she refused to marry against her will, was associated with the place. Despite this, the Bedouins would occasionally practice recreational diving, usually limited to a depth of 40 meters. However, some divers claim that the remaining 12 meters are not an issue at all.
After the snorkeling activity, the boat will cruise back to the jetty, where our agent will be waiting to collect you.
