Abu Dabab Bay, Marsa Alam: Snorkel with Sea Turtles
A long day south to Marsa Alam, where green sea turtles graze on the seagrass of Abu Dabab Bay.
Highlights
- Green sea turtles feeding on seagrass
- Snorkelling from the beach with a guide
- Lunch at the beach
- Small group
Abu Dabab is a wide, sandy bay near Marsa Alam, about three and a half hours south of Hurghada. Its seagrass meadows feed green sea turtles, and on most days snorkellers see at least one grazing peacefully on the seabed.
A guide leads small groups out from the beach and keeps everyone at a respectful distance: no touching, no chasing and no feeding. Dugongs have been seen in the bay in the past, but sightings are rare today and never guaranteed.
It is a long day, with lunch at the beach and time to relax between swims. The early start is worth it.

Most days, yes — they live in the bay. But they are wild animals, so we cannot guarantee it.
-
No. Touching, chasing or feeding them is forbidden and harms them. Your guide keeps the group at a safe distance.

Picked up on time, the crew spoke Polish and looked after our kids in the water the whole day. Best trip of our holiday.
