Price – Adults (13+): $50

Price – Children (6-12 years): $25

Estimated duration: 8 hours

Days of the week: Mon, Wed, Fri

A unique excursion to the Marsa Mubarak Reserve in Abu Dabbab Bay, near the new resort town of Marsa Alam, where you can see and swim with large green turtles, the probability of meeting them is close to 100%, since this is one of the places in the Red Sea where these amazing mammals live.

The diversity of marine flora and fauna of this bay also quite often attracts other rare mammals to bask in the shallow waters – the Dugong, or the common
name Sea Cow. The probability of meeting these animals is lower than with turtles, but it is also very high and many tourists manage to swim next to THEM at arm’s length.

And dolphins often swim to these places. The water and reefs in this lagoon will not leave anyone indifferent, and a meeting with marine animals will forever brighten up the memories of the trip.
