شعب أبو نحاس

شعب أبو نحاس، Egypt

Submerged reef littered with historic shipwrecks, including a gold-laden nineteenth-century steamer.

This guide to Shaab Abu Nuhas off Hurghada opens just after midnight when the steamship Carnatic scraped onto this reef, her holds packed with Royal Mail sacks, cotton, wine and gold coins bound for Bombay. Passengers slept through the impact, and some played cards on deck the next morning, joking about the delay. You're floating above one of the busiest wreck sites in the Red Sea, along the shipping lane vessels still funnel through toward the Suez Canal.
