What is Georgios G Shipwreck?
It was built in England in 1949 and launched as a cargo liner in 1960. The Georgios G Shipwreck ship’s crew had no idea how dangerous their cargo hold would be when they were stranded on a reef off the coast of Saudi Arabia in the Gulf of Aqaba in 1978. Particles of flour were hanging in the air above the frantic technicians as they desperately tried to restart the engine.

What is inside/attraction Georgios G Shipwreck?
- The Georgios G. Shipwreck ship’s metal framework, which has survived, is now an important part of NEOM’s marine conservation efforts, providing a haven for marine species like coral, sponges, fish, and turtles.
- You can see marine life that has taken up residence in the mysterious remains of the formerly magnificent vessel by taking a swim around it and exploring it.
- Diverse reef life’s colorful nursery is just waiting to be discovered. The beach’s golden sands are an ideal place to relax and unwind after a day of exploring.
- Do not approach the shipwreck or swim near it, as the rusting edges are dangerously sharp.
- The Georgios G’s wreck is only a short distance from the shore. To get to the wreck, you’ll have to swim about 20 meters from shore.
Things to do?
- A 2mm suit or a rash guard/skin suit should be sufficient. It’s a good idea to bring a flashlight because the wreckage is dimly lit.
- While swimming or snorkeling around here, you should still show respect for the local culture by dressing appropriately.
- In most cases, the temperature is around 20 degrees Celsius or more and there is no current at all. The visibility is fantastic, often exceeding 30 meters.
- You can go fishing, watch the sunset, snorkel between dives, or just relax in the desert around here.
