Nakura is an Eritrean island in the Dahlak Archipelago situated west of Dahlak Kebir.
During Italian colonization (1890/91), it was used as a detention camp. Its grim history is vividly depicted in Eritrean songs. Reports indicate the current military regime in Eritrea uses this island as a prison camp for dissidents[citation needed].
