Sha'ab Abu Nuhas (Arabic: شعب أبو النحاس Shaʿb Abū an-Nuḥās) is a coral reef northwest of Shadwan Island in the northern Red Sea. It is a navigation hazard because it projects into the shipping channel, as evidenced by the (at least) 7 shipwrecks on it including the SS Carnatic, Kimon M, Chrisola K and Ghiannis D. It is popular with scuba divers. Its name is Arabic for "reef of father of copper", after the cargo of one of the wrecks.
