Best of Shipwrecks

Sunken Legends of the Northern Red Sea

In the northern Red Sea, the waters between Hurghada, Shaab El Erg and Ras Mohammed hold one of the world’s highest concentrations of legendary shipwrecks. Resting on coral plateaus or lying at the foot of steep walls, these iron giants — Thistlegorm, Rosalie Moller, Giannis D, Carnatic, Kingston, Krisoula K… — each tell a chapter of maritime history, preserved underwater for decades. Now colonised by clouds of glassfish, schools of jacks and vibrant anthias, they have become true sanctuaries of marine life.

Between mystical atmospheres, monumental silhouettes and pristine coral formations, this itinerary delivers a remarkable blend of exploration, colour and emotion. From the lagoon of Shaab El Erg to the dramatic canyons of Ras Mohammed, every dive strikes a balance between historical immersion, biological richness and striking underwater scenery.
An unmissable route for wreck enthusiasts and Red Sea lovers seeking adventure, wonder and a deep dive into a living open-water museum.
