Day Trip to Abu Dabbab Beach with Lunch
A full day of snorkeling, sea turtles, and shoreside calm on one of the Red Sea's most unspoiled beaches.
This guided day excursion takes you from Marsa Alam to Abu Dabbab Beach, a sheltered bay celebrated for its transparent waters, soft sands, and a marine ecosystem that rewards both snorkelers and those content to simply relax on the shore.
Abu Dabbab, also known as Marsa Abu Dabbab, sits within a protected natural area where the seagrass beds attract sea turtles year-round. The beach is calm and relatively uncrowded, making it a genuine alternative to busier resort strips along the Egyptian Red Sea coast.
The itinerary is deliberately unhurried. Guests have the freedom to move between snorkeling sessions and beach time at their own pace, with lunch served on-site before the return transfer to the hotel in the afternoon.
Tour Highlights
Snorkel above seagrass beds and coral formations in the sheltered bay of Abu Dabbab.
Spot sea turtles in their natural habitat, with occasional sightings of guitar sharks in the bay.
Relax on a pristine beach away from the crowds with ample time to unwind on the shore.
Observe diverse reef fish and vibrant coral species beneath the clear Red Sea surface.
Enjoy a included lunch served during the day at the beach location.
A relaxed, easy-rated trip suitable for all ages and most fitness levels.
Itinerary
Pickup from your hotel in Marsa Alam and a comfortable transfer to Marsa Abu Dabbab, one of the protected bays along the southern Red Sea coast.
Upon arrival, receive a briefing on the marine area and its protected species. The beach facilities allow you to settle in before entering the water.
Enter the bay to snorkel over seagrass meadows where sea turtles feed close to the surface. Guitar sharks and a wide variety of reef fish are also commonly observed in the area.
Take time between snorkeling sessions to rest on the beach. The calm, shallow conditions make this bay accessible for swimmers of varying experience levels.
A lunch is served during the day, giving you time to recharge before the afternoon.
After a full day at the beach, the group returns to Marsa Alam hotels, arriving back at approximately 4:00 pm.
