GeographyThey are situated {{convert|67|km}} from El Qoseir on the mainland.[3][4] The most prominent feature of the islands is the Brothers Islands Lighthouse built by the British in 1883.[3][5] Small Brother lies {{convert|1|km|mi|1|spell=in|abbr=off}} south from the Big Brother.[3] Underwater divingThe islands are a dive site featuring corals and two wrecks: Numidia and Aida.[1] The islands are also famed for encounters with Oceanic Whitetip and Hammerhead Sharks. However, they are only suitable for very experienced divers due to the islands' isolated position, the challenging dive conditions, and very strong currents.[1][3][4] During high season there are many dive safari boats around both islands. In 2012, CNN ranked Big Brother ninth in a list of the world's 50 best dive sites, and second in the Red Sea.[6] {{clear}}References1. ^1 2 Brothers Islands | Egypt Tourism Authority {{DEFAULTSORT:Brothers}}2. ^Brothers Islands | Egypt Tourism Authority 3. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=http://www.dive-the-world.com/diving-sites-red-sea-brother-islands.php |title=Southern Red Sea Diving - Egypt - Brother Islands - The Brothers |publisher=Dive-the-world.com |date= |accessdate=2013-03-15}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.scubatravel.com/itineraries/liveaboards/egypt/B/Brothers.html |title=Brothers Islands | Red Sea Dive Holiday |publisher=Scubatravel.com |date= |accessdate=2013-03-15}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.emdb.gov.eg/eafms/lighthouses.aspx |title=www.emdb.gov.eg - Lighthouses |publisher=Web.archive.org |date=2012-11-22 |accessdate=2013-04-07 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121122070334/http://www.emdb.gov.eg/eafms/lighthouses.aspx |archivedate=November 22, 2012 }} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://travel.cnn.com/explorations/escape/outdoor-adventures/worlds-50-best-dive-sites-895793 |title=Into the deep: World's 50 best dive sites |first=Jade |last=Bremner |publisher=CNN |date=6 April 2012}} 4 : Islands of Egypt|Islands of the Red Sea|Red Sea Governorate|Underwater diving sites in Egypt |
