Additional Infos |

| | Abu Nugar is a big reef system in north Hurghada. Many divesites, famous ones called Erg Iris, Shaab Abu Nugar and Gota Abu Nugar South and North. Very nice hard coral (one of the best for coral in Hurghada) but not so much fish. Shallow and quit easy, visibility sometimes bad.
