    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Abu Dabbab Ithnain offers a chance to explore a less frequented spot in Marsa Alam. We’ve seen a few unique gastropods here, like the Variable Stromb, alongside occasional dolphin sightings – both Long-beaked and Indian Ocean bottlenose. It’s a good option for those looking to get away from the main Abu Dabbab crowds and enjoy a quieter dive.
