Egypt holiday SHAAB ABU NUGAR Shaab Abu Nugar is one of the most northern dive sites in the area of Hurghada almost reaching the area of El Gouna and it is about 60 to 90 minutes sailing by boat. Abu Nugar means father of the pools and this because of the many holes you can find in the main reef. The main reef is famous for its big variety of hard corals and many ergs are found there. Beautiful table corals and coral clusters are scattered around. Yellow and purple gorgonians, horn corals and brain corals are also to be found on this dive site. The marine life is not so spectacular here at Shaab Abu Nugar but you can encounter eagle rays, turtles, broomtail wrasse, and parrot fish.
