Fauneya

Egypt's whale shark encounters are best treated as a broad southern Red Sea offshore corridor rather than a single guaranteed hotspot. Sightings are possible year-round, but the main reliable season is usually May to August on offshore reefs and southern liveaboard routes. (Daedalus / Elphinstone / St. John's)
