Enjoy Abu Dabbab Bay, One of the Best Sandy Beaches in the Marsa Alam Region This excursion from Hurghada is a must for true lovers of the Red Sea. You’ll be picked up from your hotel in Hurghada early in the morning around 5 a.m and travel south in a comfortable air-conditioned minibus. The scenic drive takes approximately 2.5–3 hrs. depending on traffic and exact pickup location. Upon arrival at Abu Dabbab, you’ll receive your snorkeling gear and a briefing from a professional guide. Then it’s time to enter the crystal-clear, warm waters of this sheltered bay. Snorkel over healthy coral reefs and extensive seagrass meadows teeming with marine life. Green sea turtles are frequently seen feeding here, and with luck you may also spot the rare and gentle dugong (sea cow). Those who prefer not to snorkel can simply relax on the beautiful sandy beach. Lunch with soft drinks is included. An optional boat trip to search for dugongs in the wider area can be arranged on request. After a full day of snorkeling, beach time, and wildlife watching, you will depart Abu Dabbab around 3 p.m. and return to your hotel in Hurghada between 5 and 6 p.m. You won’t want to leave!
