Daedalus Reef

Daedalus Reef is an isolated oceanic coral reef in the Egyptian Red Sea, about 90 kilometres east of Marsa Alam, rising from a water depth of roughly 550 metres to a surface platform about 1,075 metres long and 300 metres wide, bordered by near-vertical walls of dense coral growth. It carries an operational lighthouse at its northern tip, first built in 1863 and rebuilt in 1931, lies within Egypt's Red Sea marine protected area network, and is considered one of the Red Sea's premier shark-observation sites, with as many as eight shark species documented there.
