Detailed itinerary
1
Our destination is Abu Dabbab beach, which is located 30 kilometers south of Marsa Alam airport, and we will reach there by 9:00 am.
Upon arrival, there will be a short briefing where your guide will provide you with all the necessary information about the trip and some safety instructions. Our first goal will be to find turtles, and we have two snorkeling spots planned for this purpose. The first snorkeling spot is on the right side, where the turtles reside. We will spend an hour snorkeling here before taking a break to relax on the beach or engage in some activities.
The second snorkeling spot is located around a stunning coral reef that is globally recognized as one of the ten most beautiful beaches in the world. Here, you will encounter various types of fish and corals, and the second session of snorkeling is expected to take place around 11:30 am.
