    Un'esperienza straordinaria! Fare snorkeling con tartarughe marine e dugonghi ad Abu Dabbab è stato meraviglioso. L'acqua poco profonda e la baia protetta dal vento hanno reso tutto perfetto. Consiglio vivamente di provarlo!

    Quelle expérience incroyable! Nager avec les tortues de mer et les dugongs dans la baie d'Abu Dabbab était un rêve devenu réalité. L'eau peu profonde et protégée du vent rendait l'excursion encore plus agréable. À ne pas manquer!

    Snorkeling in Abu Dabbab was a great choice! Seeing sea turtles and dugongs up close was really special. The bay's gentle conditions made it calm and relaxing. I had a fantastic day, though I wish it was slightly longer.

    Это было потрясающее приключение! Плавать с морскими черепахами и дюгонями в бухте Абу Даббаб - это незабываемый опыт. Защита от ветра и мелководье делают экскурсию идеальной. Очень рекомендую это!
