FAQ
- Are sea turtles guaranteed to be seen on this trip? Sea turtles live permanently in Abu Dabbab Bay because of the abundant seagrass. Sighting chances are extremely high (over 95%), though wild animals roam freely in open nature.
- Do we need a boat to snorkel with the turtles? No, Abu Dabbab is a shore-entry bay. You simply walk into the calm, shallow water straight from the sandy beach.
- Is this tour suitable for children and non-swimmers? Yes, because you enter from the sand, non-swimmers and children can easily wear life jackets and float safely in knee-to-waist-deep water where turtles often feed.
- How far is Abu Dabbab from Hurghada? The drive takes approximately 2.5 to 3 hours each way in an air-conditioned vehicle with a brief rest stop along the coast.
