🗺️ Full Description – Marsa Alam Snorkeling Experience

Your adventure begins with a convenient pickup from your hotel, the airport, or the port in Marsa Alam. Sit back and enjoy a comfortable ride of about 30 minutes to the picturesque Marsa Hermes Bay, also known as El Naaba. Upon arrival, you’ll board a luxurious speedboat specially equipped for snorkeling excursions and begin your journey across the crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea.

As the boat glides through the turquoise waves, enjoy light snacks and coffee while taking in the breathtaking coastal views. The boat features comfortable seating, shaded areas, and onboard facilities including a restroom — ensuring a pleasant and relaxing journey for everyone.

Your first snorkeling stop will take place in search of the dugong, a gentle and endangered marine mammal that occasionally visits this sheltered bay to graze on seagrass. If you’re lucky enough to spot one, you’ll have the incredible opportunity to observe it closely as it swims gracefully through the water. When undisturbed, these friendly creatures may stay nearby for up to an hour, allowing you to capture unforgettable photos and memories.

After spending time with the dugongs, continue your journey to Shaab El Mahalhala, one of the region’s most beautiful snorkeling and diving spots. As you glide over the reef, marvel at the incredible diversity of marine life — from schools of colorful fish to vibrant coral formations. You might even spot a few curious dolphins swimming alongside the boat!

Throughout the trip, your friendly crew will serve refreshing drinks, tea, and snacks to keep you energized between snorkeling sessions. Whether you prefer relaxing on the sundeck or diving back into the water, the experience is yours to enjoy at your own pace.

Next, head to Sharm Abu Dabbab, a world-famous reef known for its rich biodiversity and spectacular coral gardens. This site offers calm, crystal-clear waters perfect for snorkelers of all levels. Dive in to explore the stunning underwater landscapes, where brightly colored corals provide shelter for exotic species such as parrotfish, butterflyfish, and the elegant green sea turtle.

Take your time floating above the reef, soaking in the tranquility of the Red Sea, and admiring the magical beauty that lies beneath its surface. The calm conditions and incredible visibility make this a favorite location for underwater photography.

After several hours of snorkeling, exploring, and relaxing under the Egyptian sun, it’s time to return to the marina. As the boat sails back to Port El Naaba, enjoy one last cup of tea or soft drink while reflecting on the incredible sights and experiences of the day. Upon arrival at the quay, your driver will be waiting to transfer you comfortably back to your hotel or the original pickup point.
