Overview

The Brothers (Big Brother and Little Brother) are two steep-sided volcanic islands in the central Red Sea, about 67 nautical miles from Hurghada. Sheer walls drop into deep blue water, covered in soft corals and gorgonians. Big Brother is famous for regular grey reef shark encounters and the Numidia and Aida wreck sites.
