Snorkel a calm, shallow seagrass bay where green turtles graze year-round, just steps from the shore.

Marsa Abu Dabbab's shallow, calm bay isn't just another beach stop — it's a genuine feeding ground where green sea turtles graze on seagrass just meters from shore, day after day. You wade in straight from the sand, no boat needed, and within minutes you're floating quietly beside a turtle going about its business.

The water here is shallow and gentle, making this snorkel ideal for beginners, families, and anyone who wants an easy, low-stress time in the sea. Abu Dabbab is also known for occasional dugong sightings, so there's always a small chance the day brings something extra special.

This is a simple, unhurried shore-entry snorkel — no crowds, no rush, just clear water and the everyday life of turtles unfolding right in front of you.
