"Dozens of small, sinuous wadis run down from the mountains of Abu Galum to plunge into the sea ..."

Further north than Nabq, between Dahab and Nuweiba, lies the natural park of Abu Galum, in many ways the perfect complement to Nabq. Where Nabq is centered on the broad, open basin of the Wadi Kid, Abu Galum encompasses a labyrinthine stretch of craggy granitic coastal mountains. Dozens of small, sinuous wadis run down from the mountains of Abu Galum to plunge into the sea, and within their many channels and runs are harboured a surprising abundance of both plant and animal life, including Nubian Ibex, Hyrax, and Red Fox.
