The reef that has wrecked more ships than any other
Sha'ab Abu Nuhas is a treacherous shallow reef north of Shadwan Island, around two to two-and-a-half hours from El Gouna, that has claimed more ships than any reef in the Red Sea. Its northern face is a graveyard of four major wrecks, while the sheltered southern side offers easy coral-garden diving. The reef itself bristles with hard corals, glassfish caverns and turtles.
