The morning sun sharpens the Red Sea into a sheet of polished metal as a private A/C car pulls up at your Hurghada hotel. A guide with a ready smile hands you a cold drink and leads the way through a compact museum where glass cases hold encrusted artifacts and photographs that smell faintly of salt and diesel. The room hums with the weight of submerged stories—cargo manifests, engine parts, and the silhouettes of fish that now claim these wrecks.
