Abu Dabbab Beach (dugongs, turtles)

The World’s Premier Sanctuary for Dugongs and Giant Turtles

Nestled in the heart of Marsa Alam, Abu Dabbab Beach is one of the most famous and ecologically significant bays in the Red Sea. Known globally as one of the few remaining natural habitats for the rare and endangered Dugong (Sea Cow), this horseshoe-shaped bay is a vibrant underwater meadow. Its shallow waters and lush seagrass beds also attract massive Green Sea Turtles, making it a bucket-list destination for nature lovers and marine photographers.

We offer the expertise of specialized marine guides who know the "secret spots" where the Dugong grazes, ensuring you have the highest chance of a respectful, once-in-a-lifetime encounter with these gentle giants.
