A guide leads the snorkel from the surface, and hotel pickup is included. Plan for about eight hours door to door, with time in a clear bay rather than a long island-hopping circuit. 📋 Key Details Duration: About 8 hours including hotel transfers Group size: Small guided groups, typically up to 15 Minimum age: Young guests welcome if happy in the water with a mask; infant seats are available on the transfer Meeting point: Hotel pickup in the Marsa Alam area, then transfer to Abu Dabbab bay Format: Surface snorkel over seagrass and nearby coral, with wildlife as a chance not a guarantee 🐢 What to Expect Pale sand meets glassy water at Abu Dabbab, where seagrass spreads across the bay floor in wide green fans. You float face-down with a guide leading the group over the grass, watching for the slow glide of a green turtle grazing below. Fish flick in and out of the blades, and the bay stays calm enough to linger without fighting current. Turtles move slowly here when they appear, often feeding while you hover at the surface giving them room. The rhythm is unhurried: drift, look down, pause when something interesting passes, then follow the guide's line toward nearby coral. Wildlife is never promised, but the clear shallows and busy grass make a satisfying snorkel even on a quiet day. 📍 Location Abu Dabbab sits on Egypt's southern Red Sea coast, a short run from Marsa Alam hotels. The bay is known for clear, shallow water and seagrass beds close to the beach, which is why turtles feed here. Snorkelling happens in a busy bay rather than from a packed day-boat deck, with time to look down onto grass and coral in the shallows. Wind and sea state decide whether a slot can run. Marsa Alam's hotel strip sits close enough to Abu Dabbab that the day can be about the water rather than hours on the road. After you return, the rest of the evening is free at the resort. Share your resort name so the van can fit you into the morning run. Guests staying well outside the usual hotel strip should wait for confirmation that collection still applies. ✅ Prerequisites No snorkel qualification is required. Putting your face in the sea with a mask and floating at the surface in a busy bay should feel comfortable. First-time snorkellers and guests who already swim with a mask can share the same water. Say if you would rather stay in the shallo… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Private Hotel Pick up & Drop off & Air-conditioned vehicle Visit Abu Dabbab ( House of Turtles ) Entrance Fees To Abu Dabbab Snorkeling in the beautiful Redsea Lunch Water ### What’s not included Governmental Value Added Taxes Ten € per person paid cash on spot Transfer from South Marsa alam airport Extra charge Ten € paid cash on spot Use of snorkeling equipment Personal expenses and gratuities Items of a personal nature (towel, sunscreen, hat) ### Kit list _None._ ## FAQs ### Will we definitely see turtles? Abu Dabbab is a bay on the Marsa Alam coast where green turtles often graze on seagrass in shallow, clear water. You snorkel at the surface with a guide, watching from a respectful distance rather than crowding the animals. Sightings are likely on many days, but they are wild animals. Dugong are rarer here; treat that as a bonus if one passes through, not a promise. ### Is hotel pickup included? Hotel pickup and drop-off in the Marsa Alam area is included. You will be given a pickup window so you can be ready in reception or at the agreed point. If you are staying outside the usual Marsa Alam hotel strip, share your address when you confirm your place so the team can say whether collection still applies. ### Do I need snorkelling experience? No qualification is required. A guide is in the water with you, and kit is provided. First-time snorkellers and guests who already swim with a mask can share the same bay. You should be comfortable putting your face in the sea and floating at the surface. Say if you would rather stay in the shallows close to the beach. ### What should I wear and bring? Wear swimwear under a light cover-up, plus shoes you can slip off at the water. Bring a towel, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and a dry layer for the transfer back to the hotel. Leave valuables in the hotel safe where you can. A phone in a waterproof pouch is enough for photos; keep hands off the turtles and the seagrass. ### Can children join? Young guests can join if they are happy in the water with a mask. Infant seats are available on the transfer, so very young children may stay on the beach rather than in the water. Share ages when you confirm your place so the crew can plan kit and whether a child stays in the shallows. ### How long will I be out including transfers? Plan for about eight hours door to door, including hotel transfers and time at the bay. Exact timing depends on where you are staying and how busy the bay is that day. Keep the rest of the day free so you are not rushing back for another plan. ### Is this the right option if I am staying in Marsa Alam? This is a Marsa Alam pickup. The bay is close to town, so the transfer is shorter than the same snorkel run from Hurghada or Soma Bay. Choose this option if you are staying in Marsa Alam. Guests in Hurghada or Soma Bay should book Abu Dabbab turtle snorkel with pickup from Hurghada or Soma Bay instead. ### What if the sea is rough? Snorkel days depend on wind and sea state. If the water is unsuitable, the team may shift the start time or move you to another slot the same day. Stay reachable on the morning of the outing so any change of pickup time can reach you before you leave the hotel. ### Is snorkel kit provided? Yes. A mask, snorkel and fins are provided at the bay. You do not need to bring your own unless you prefer a familiar mask. The guide stays with the group in the water and sets a simple route over the seagrass and nearby coral. ### Where do we meet? The meeting point is your hotel in Marsa Alam for pickup, then a transfer to Abu Dabbab bay. You return to the same hotel after the snorkel. If you prefer to make your own way, ask for the meeting point when your place is confirmed rather than guessing a pin on a map. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/2a30f867-2487-44e7-8b28-566f5614d22a-1.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
