Egypt’s First Underwater Military Museum Sets Sail in Hurghada

The Red Sea Governorate is launching Egypt’s first underwater military museum in Hurghada.

By alleviating pressure from natural coral reefs and diverting traffic to three alternative sites- Shaab al-Saqala, Uruq al-Tawil, and Arg Jama’ in Magawish - the project is set to create new coral habitats and protect the Red Sea’s marine ecosystem, making it the first museum of its kind in Africa.

The museum will feature a collection of 15 carefully submerged warships, each with its own unique history and significance.
