Deux longs récifs frangeants descendent de chaque côté ; entre les deux, le lagon sablonneux abrite des raies à points bleus, des poissons-flèches et parfois un poisson-guitare. La baie, gérée par la HEPCA, limite le nombre de bateaux et interdit de nourrir ou de poursuivre la faune.

Such a delicious beach with perfect infraestruture and clear water. The coral reef is healthy, full of colors and all sea creatures you can imagine. It is perfect for shore diving and snorkeling also as the wall rises almost to the surface. Lots of turtles have their meals in the sea grass huge field in the middle of the bay. Enjoy it!

Abu Dabbab Beach is one of the best places for relaxing and snorkeling in the Marsa Alam area. It’s a wide sandy beach with a gentle entrance into the sea, which is quite rare in Egypt. The water is usually very clear, especially in the morning, and the underwater world is truly impressive. The main highlight of Abu Dabbab is the chance to see sea turtles and sometimes even a dugong right from the shore. The reef is lively, full of colorful fish, so a mask and snorkel are a must. At the same time, the beach is perfect for swimming and suitable for families with children. Pros: clean and well-maintained area, sunbeds, cafés, toilets, and lifeguards available. The atmosphere is calm, without aggressive vendors. Cons: it can get crowded during peak hours when excursion groups arrive. Overall, Abu Dabbab is a place you really want to come back to. A perfect balance of natural beauty, comfort, and an amazing marine life. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Absolutely gorgeous beach and a must visit if you’re in the area. It took me 3 hours to drive there but it was worth it. I ended up doing a turtle snorkel experience too which was absolutely amazing and such an experience. The beach was clean, water was crystal clear. The staff are friendly and welcoming and helped to take photos of myself and my partner. Sunbeds were comfy and mattress like rather than the typical canvas material. We had lunch there and the food was amazing! I got an Egyptian cotton T-shirt from the shop and the shop keeper was friendly and helpful
