Itinerary
Benefit from pick-up at your hotel, and then journey by air-conditioned vehicle to Abu Dabab Beach. Located some 31 kilometers south of Marsa Alam Airport, Abu Dabab is one of the most popular bays in the Marsa Alam area. Also known as "Turtles Bay," the beach is said to be the prettiest along the entire coast. Marvel at its clean and sandy beach, and collect your snorkeling equipment to venture into the sea. Your snorkeling guide will give you time to relax and change before your first snorkel adventure, either at the coral reefs to the north or south of the aqua center. Get some time at leisure to relax before your second snorkeling session, with the aim of seeing the green turtles and dugongs (sea cows) that normally frequent the middle of the bay. Along the way, admire the colorful and well-maintained coral reefs, and look for all kinds of marine life that live around the underwater gardens. Benefit from easy access to the water direct from the beach, making it a perfect snorkeling adventure for children and the less experienced. Get some more free time to check out the beach bar, before you journey back to your hotel at around 13:00.

About Marsa Alam
Marsa Alam is a small resort town on Egypt's southern Red Sea coast, known for coral reefs, sea turtles and wild desert behind the shore.
The town lies on the Red Sea coast of Egypt's Eastern Desert, with long reefs just offshore and a thinly populated hinterland of bare mountains and dry valleys. Marsa Alam itself is small, and most visitors stay in resorts spread along the coast road, close to the water. The reefs are the draw, with sheltered bays that slope gently into clear water.
Top-ranked sights in Marsa Alam: Marsa Mubarak, Wadi el Gemal National Park, Sharm El Luli (Ras Hankorab).
