Abu Dabbab is located on Egypt’s Marsa Alam coast. This stunning nature reserve is approximately 250km south of Hurghada city. The scenic, three hour drive from Hurghada airport is well worth it! Because Abu Dabbab is known for crystal clear waters and white, sandy beaches. However, Abu Dabbab is known on the international stage for Turtles Beach. This is probably one of the best locations ever to watch turtles in their natural environment. Also, the bay is home to the endangered Dugong, or ‘sea cow’.
