Itinerary

Start with a scheduled pickup from your Marsa Alam hotel, followed by a comfortable transfer to the marina. Exact pickup time is confirmed after booking. Board a well-equipped boat and cruise to Marsa Mubarak Bay, a protected marine reserve known for calm waters and rich marine life. Your guide explains the plan and snorkeling guidelines on the way. Upon arrival, enter the water directly from the boat and snorkel over colorful coral reefs. Marsa Mubarak is a natural feeding area for green sea turtles, which are frequently seen swimming close to snorkelers. Explore colorful coral formations and observe a wide variety of tropical fish with guidance from professional snorkeling guides. Snorkel in areas where the rare dugong (sea cow) is occasionally spotted. Sightings are not guaranteed, but the bay is one of the best known habitats in the region. Return to the boat to enjoy a freshly prepared buffet lunch with soft drinks, tea, and coffee. Relax and enjoy the sea views between activities. After lunch, enjoy a second snorkeling session to explore more of the bay and its marine life. Cruise back to the marina in the afternoon and transfer back to your hotel in Marsa Alam.
