Name:	Al Kahfain
Description:	The Al Kahfain was a ferry that was sailing past Safaga with just the crew on board when a fire broke out that they couldn't extinguish. The crew abandoned ship, leaving it to drift in open sea. It made its way unmanned through the shipping lanes and it was only when it began to drift towards Port Safaga that anyone did anything about it. It was purposefully left to run aground on Sha'ab Sheer which it did in November 2005. The ferry lies intact nearly upside down on the seabed, with its bow jammed into the reef. There is a crack running down the hull from keel to deck about a third of the way along the wreck from the stern. You can hear all the metal creaking. At the bow the name was clearly visible and all the paintwork was still quite fresh. A good dive site and a memorable experience.
