About this site
Shab Heluwa is a reef site off the coast of Qesm Hurghada in Egypt's Red Sea Governorate, part of the stretch of offshore reefs typically reached by boat from Hurghada. The area sits within the central Red Sea's fringing and patch reef system that draws day boats and liveaboards operating out of the Hurghada marina.
