About Marsa Alam
The Red Sea, unhurried
Far to the south, Marsa Alam is the Red Sea at its most natural — fewer boats, long empty bays and reefs in great condition. Its star is Abu Dabbab, a sheltered bay where green sea turtles feed on the seagrass in shallow water, just a few fins from shore.
Join a small-group Turtle Bay trip or book it privately for your family — either way you snorkel at the turtles' pace, guided by people who know the bay.

Marsa Alam FAQ
Can't find your answer? Our team replies on WhatsApp, usually within minutes.
Are turtles guaranteed at Abu Dabbab?
They're wild, so never guaranteed — but turtles are seen at Abu Dabbab on most days. Please keep your distance and never touch them.
Is the snorkelling suitable for beginners?
Yes. The bay is sheltered and you enter from the beach, so it's ideal for beginners and children with a life jacket.
How far is Marsa Alam from Hurghada?
Roughly three to four hours by road. Check each tour's pick-up details, or message us your hotel and we'll confirm the best option.
Can I book Turtle Bay privately?
Yes — the private Turtle Bay trip gives your group its own guide and flexible timing.
