Marsa Mubarak Snorkeling Trip from Port Ghalib
Coral reefs, sea turtles, and dugongs in one of the Red Sea's most celebrated bays
A Marsa Mubarak snorkeling trip offers direct access to one of Marsa Alam's most biodiverse marine sites, where shallow turquoise lagoons shelter sea turtles, vibrant reef fish, and the rare dugong in a single full-day outing.
Departing from Port Ghalib, the boat first anchors at Marsa El Sohra, a coral-rich bay where a dedicated dive break allows guests to observe reef ecosystems before the main destination. The water clarity throughout the route rivals that of a natural swimming pool, making it accessible to snorkelers of all experience levels.
A midday buffet served onboard gives guests a chance to rest, refuel, and take in the coastal scenery before the afternoon snorkeling session begins. The return to port in the late afternoon allows enough time to enjoy the day without feeling rushed.

Itinerary
The day begins with a morning hotel pickup and a comfortable transfer to Port Ghalib marina, where the boat and crew are waiting. Guests board, receive a safety briefing, and set off into the Red Sea.
After a 25-minute cruise, the boat anchors at Marsa El Sohra, a sheltered bay lined with thriving coral formations and schools of colorful reef fish. Guests enjoy a 45-minute snorkeling break here before continuing southward.
The main stop is Marsa Mubarak, where green sea turtles regularly feed on the seagrass beds and dugongs are occasionally spotted in the shallows. Guests have approximately one hour in the water at this site.
Following the morning sessions, a buffet lunch with soft drinks and fruit is served on the boat deck. Guests may continue to explore additional crystal-clear sites in the afternoon or simply relax on deck.
