    Abu Galawa Kebir is a solid choice for a Marsa Alam dive, especially if you're keen on seeing dolphins. We’ve had a few encounters with Indian Ocean bottlenose dolphins here, and even some rarer sightings of false killer whales. The reef structure itself is pleasant, but the real draw is the chance for a memorable interaction. It’s a good spot for all experience levels, generally calm.
