Tour Details and Itinerary
Spend your morning exploring the clear waters of Abu Dabbab Beach, one of the best-known snorkeling spots on Egypt’s Red Sea coast. This half-day tour from Marsa Alam is a great choice for travelers looking to experience the region’s marine life in a short, well-paced outing.
The day begins with pickup from your hotel around 7:30 AM, followed by a scenic drive to Abu Dabbab, located north of Marsa Alam. Known for its shallow waters, sandy bottom, and rich biodiversity, the beach is especially popular for frequent sightings of green sea turtles and, occasionally, the rare dugong.
On arrival, you’ll receive your snorkeling gear and a short safety briefing before heading into the water. The first guided snorkeling session begins at around 9:30 AM and lasts for approximately 90 minutes. You’ll swim over seagrass meadows and coral patches while observing tropical fish, rays, and larger sea creatures in their natural habitat.
After snorkeling, enjoy some free time on the beach. From 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM, you can relax on the soft sand, wade into the water for a casual swim, or take in the peaceful setting. The calm atmosphere and scenic coastline make this beach a pleasant place to unwind after your swim.
Around 12:30 PM, the tour wraps up with a return transfer back to your hotel, arriving around 1:00 PM. With its short duration and high chance of marine sightings, this tour is ideal for families, nature lovers, and those who want to enjoy the Red Sea without committing to a full-day excursion.
