Souk Makadi

Diving
As with every destination on the Red Sea, diving is a key highlight with reefs and an underwater marine world as magnificent as the Red Sea's. The most popular dive spot in Makadi Bay is Abu-Hashish, which means in 'Father of Grass' in Arabic and it was given this name because this very shallow dive site is filled with sea grass. Great for beginners to all levels of divers, at Abu-Hashish you can see puffer fish, octopus, and sea horses, among other fish.
Snorkelling
Perfect for snorkelers, Makadi Bay is fronted by a long stretch of white sandy beach and home to a spectacular house reef. Trips to nearby islands great for snorkelling too can also be arranged from Makadi Bay.
Makadi Serena Spa
Prefer to relax and unwind? There's no better place to do that in than in Makadi Bay's relaxing surroundings. Inspired by ancient Indian wellness rituals, Makadi Serena Spa is the perfect world to get lost in with a variety of treatments to choose from all inspired from Indian traditions.
