The Abu Dabbab snorkeling trip is one of the top-rated excursions in Marsa Alam, perfect for nature lovers, beginners, and families seeking a relaxing yet unforgettable marine experience. Situated in the southern Red Sea, Abu Dabbab Bay is world-famous for its calm, shallow waters, soft white sand, and unique opportunity to swim alongside wild sea turtles and, occasionally, the elusive dugong — a gentle marine mammal often called the “sea cow.”
This full-day tour is designed to blend adventure, education, and relaxation. You won’t need a boat for this journey; simply walk from the beach into the sea and begin your underwater exploration. With vibrant coral gardens, colorful reef fish, and excellent visibility, Abu Dabbab is a true Red Sea treasure waiting to be explored.
Your day begins with a comfortable air-conditioned transfer from your accommodation in Marsa Alam to the shores of Abu Dabbab Bay. Once you arrive, you’re greeted by the breathtaking sight of turquoise waters lapping against a soft sandy beach — a peaceful haven away from the crowds.
After a short briefing and safety instructions from your snorkeling guide, you’ll gear up and walk straight into the water. The bay features shallow depths, making it perfect for first-time snorkelers, children, and those seeking a safe and calm environment. Throughout the day, you can snorkel at your own pace or relax under the sun on a shaded lounger.
With a bit of luck, you’ll encounter wild green sea turtles feeding on seagrass and perhaps catch a glimpse of the rare dugong, often spotted in this very bay. The coral reef teems with marine life, including parrotfish, clownfish, butterflyfish, and rays.
Abu Dabbab stands out among Marsa Alam snorkeling destinations for its accessibility, biodiversity, and conservation focus. Unlike many snorkeling trips in Egypt that require boat transfers, this tour allows you to enter directly from the beach, making it convenient and eco-friendly.
