Abu Dabab

Abu Dabab is an advanced dive site near Marsa Alam, famous as one of the best spots in Egypt to encounter dugongs. The deep bay features extensive seagrass beds that attract these elusive marine mammals, along with large green turtles that feed alongside them. The reef edges offer dramatic drop-offs with beautiful gorgonians and soft corals. Experienced divers can explore deeper sections where eagle rays and guitar sharks are occasionally spotted over the sandy bottom.
