Description
Discover the renowned dive site of Cleopatra's underwater city, home to an array of sphinx statues and Roman columns. The historical city, submerged after an ancient earthquake, includes remnants of the lighthouse at the foot of Fort Qaitbey. For experienced divers, there are a few wrecks from the Napoleonic-era Battle of the Nile. For beginners, a shallow wreck of a WWII airplane provides a glimpse into the area's modern history. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to explore the submerged Cleopatra Palace, where Cleopatra and Mark Anthony used to meet.
