Abu Dabbab: The Turtle & Dugong Bay

Abu Dabbab: The Turtle & Dugong Bay

Escape to a protected marine park where the desert meets a turquoise lagoon. This is the only place in Egypt where you can reliably swim with giant Green Sea Turtles and the rare “Sea Cow” (Dugong).

• The Experience: Located 2.5 hours south of Hurghada near Marsa Alam, Abu Dabbab is a natural sanctuary. Unlike the busy reefs in town, this bay features massive seagrass meadows that attract endangered Dugongs and Green Sea Turtles the size of a coffee table. It’s a peaceful, eco-focused day perfect for nature lovers.

• The Highlights: * Turtle Snorkeling: Swim alongside resident turtles as they graze on seagrass.

  • Dugong Watch: A rare chance to see one of the world’s most elusive marine mammals.

  • Pristine Beach: Relax on soft white sand with provided sunbeds and umbrellas.

  • House Reef: Two vibrant coral walls on the sides of the bay teeming with colorful fish.

• Timing: 06:00 AM – 06:00 PM (approx. 12 hours).

• Included: Hotel transfers, snorkeling equipment, professional snorkeling guide, beach entrance fees, and a fresh lunch.
