About this tour

Turtle Beach—widely known as Abu Dabbab Bay—is one of the most famous marine sites in Marsa Alam, celebrated for its calm turquoise waters, soft sandy shores, and exceptional encounters with large green sea turtles. The bay’s shallow seagrass meadows create a natural feeding ground where turtles gather daily, offering visitors safe, close-up viewing and unforgettable snorkeling experiences. Abu Dabbab also features vibrant coral areas, abundant reef fish, and occasional sightings of blue-spotted rays, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced snorkelers. With easy beach access, family-friendly facilities, and consistently clear Red Sea visibility, Turtle Beach stands out as a must-visit destination for nature lovers seeking a relaxed yet memorable marine adventure in the heart of the Red Sea.

Itinerary

Start with hotel pick-up and a scenic drive to Turtle Beach, one of Marsa Alam’s most famous bays for sea turtle encounters. After arriving, your guide provides a safety and environmental briefing before fitting you with snorkeling equipment. Begin your first snorkeling session over the shallow seagrass meadows where large green turtles often feed calmly, allowing close and safe observation; you may also see blue-spotted rays and schools of colorful reef fish. After a short beach break with refreshments, continue into the coral areas on the northern side of the bay, known for soft corals, vibrant marine life, and clear visibility perfect for underwater photography. Around midday, enjoy a beachside lunch and relax on the soft sandy shore. Spend the afternoon snorkeling again, swimming, or simply enjoying the warm Red Sea water before returning to your hotel in Marsa Alam in the late afternoon.
