    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Abu Dabbab Thalata in Marsa Alam gives you a decent chance to spot larger pelagics, though it’s not guaranteed. We’ve seen bottlenose dolphins here, and the occasional whale shark passes through. It’s a good spot for divers hoping for that lucky encounter with big animals, but for everyday reef life, other sites might offer more.
