A dugong is a large, gentle sea mammal related to the manatee, often called the 'sea cow.' Abu Dabbab Bay near Marsa Alam is one of the world's best places to snorkel with wild dugongs. These endangered creatures graze on seagrass beds in the shallow waters of the bay, offering a truly rare wildlife encounter.
Pickup from Hurghada, Makadi Bay, Sahl Hasheesh, or Safaga hotels is at 06:00 AM. The early start allows for comfortable travel to Abu Dabbab Bay near Marsa Alam and a full day of snorkeling with the dugongs before returning in the evening.
Abu Dabbab Bay has one of the highest dugong sighting rates in the world, and most visitors do encounter them. However, as with all wildlife, encounters cannot be 100% guaranteed. Your professional guide will take you to the best spots in the bay and do everything possible to ensure you see these magnificent animals.
Beyond dugongs, Abu Dabbab Bay is home to sea turtles, reef sharks, colorful reef fish, and vibrant coral gardens. The seagrass meadows that attract dugongs also support a rich ecosystem, making every snorkeling session a fascinating underwater safari.
Невероятное приключение! Плавание с маской в водах защищенной от ветра бухты Абу-Даббаб — это редкая возможность увидеть морских черепах и дюгоней в их естественной среде. Потрясающий тур, но можно улучшить транспортировку.
