Ever wondered about a place named “Father of Grass”? Here at Abu Hashish, the name might conjure up images of illicit activities. But the reality is far more intriguing. Abu Hashish translates to “Father of Grass,” a nod to the extensive seagrass beds flourishing just beneath the surface. This area, south of Hurghada near Makadi Bay, holds a shallow erg field teeming with life. Imagine yourself drifting along the eastern wall, the vibrant coral reef a kaleidoscope of colors. Abu Hashish isn’t just a feast for the eyes. It’s a haven for diverse marine life. Blue spotted stingrays glide gracefully across the sandy bottom. Pufferfish inflate into comical spheres, while morays peek out from their rocky hideaways. Keep your eyes peeled for the larger inhabitants of Abu Hashish. Big fish, like barracuda, mackerels, and even hammerhead sharks, are known to patrol the deeper waters. A plateau, ranging from 15 to 25 meters deep, offers another perspective of Abu Hashish. Here, long, captivating hard coral formations provide shelter for squid and the occasional turtle or eagle ray. Divers exploring the 30-meter depths might stumble upon hidden caves, adding an element of mystery to this underwater paradise. Abu Hashish is more than just a dive site. It’s a testament to the beauty and diversity of the Red Sea, a place where “Father of Grass” truly lives up to its name.
