Audio Guide of Three Pools

As a natural site, it is open 24 hours a day, although the local restaurants usually operate from 9:00 AM until sunset. It is about 10 km south of Dahab, and the easiest way to get there is by taxi or by booking private transport; you can see its exact location on Google Maps.

Access to the natural pools is free, and there is no official entrance fee for the site. However, it is common to settle at one of the Bedouin seafront restaurants, which expect you to order food or drinks in exchange for using their umbrellas and sun loungers.

Its importance lies in its unique geology: three interconnected coral lagoons that open into the sea, creating a vital refuge for young marine life. It is not a human historical site, but a natural monument that serves as a nursery for many reef species.

High tide is the best time for swimming, as it makes it easier to pass over the coral without damaging it; I suggest checking a local tide table before you go. As for the season, spring and autumn offer ideal temperatures both in the water and on land.

Yes! You are very close to other famous dive sites such as "The Caves" and "Moray Garden", which offer different underwater experiences. You can also combine your day with a visit to nearby Wadi Gnai, a beautiful desert valley ideal for short hikes.

It is essential to wear reef shoes or water shoes, as the entry into the sea is rocky and there may be sea urchins. Also remember to use reef-safe sunscreen and, if you are interested in local culture, bring cash to pay at the Bedouin restaurants.
