Rocky Island
Rocky Island is a small off-shore island of the Red Sea, lying 60–70 kilometres from the coast, out in the Red Sea Governorate of Egypt. This tiny uninhabited island gets some shelter from Zabargad Island, but also gets fed from north–south currents, which attract lots of pelagic species that feed on or visit the resident marine life.
