When Howard Carter discovered the intact tomb of Tutankhamon, his companion Lord Carnarvon asked: “can you see anything?”, Carter answered : “yes, wonderful things”.  This historical quote springs to mind when diving in the azure blue waters of Abu Dabbab near Marsa Alam, Egypt. 

One of the most intriguing diving destinations is Abu Dabbab Bay, where divers can spot dugongs in the wild in their natural environment. As plump and chubby as the dugong may seem, it effortlessly glides through the waters of Abu Dabbab. Also prominent in the area are residential green turtles, some of them really huge in size. When they do not part the water with their claws, graciously swimming to find food, it’s a true diver’s challenge to locate them resting on the shallow bottom, covered by sand.

Here, two fantastic and colourful house reefs  are separated by large meadows of seagrass. 

Here is where Blue Ocean Diving Centers offer an unique package of unlimited house reef diving. Snorkelers and divers can explore the two house reefs on the northern and southern side of Abu Dabbab Beach any time they like between 08.00am and 4.15pm.

When you effortlessly wade into the bay at Abu Dabbab from the white sandy beach, there’s a fantastic underwater scenery gradually unfolding.

They are both very easily accessible from the beach. It is as if you are literally walking into an aquarium. You literally have the Red Sea at your feet.
