Ras Gharib

Ras Ghareb, the northernmost point of Egypt's Red Sea Governorate, is steeped in history and industry. This region is renowned for its national and international petroleum companies, playing a significant role in Egypt's oil production.

Ras Ghareb is a haven for diving enthusiasts, with mapped wrecks like the famous SS Scalar waiting to be discovered. Explore the dramatic landscapes around the 1759-meter mountain that lends the city its name.

While documented nightlife options are limited, imagine the grandeur of the legendary party held during the lighthouse's inauguration in 1869. The tranquility of the Red Sea coast and the historic lighthouse create a unique atmosphere in Ras Ghareb.
