Itinerary
The Journey Begins
Our Marsa Alam City Taxi representative will pick you up from your hotel (typically around 07:30 – 08:00 AM) and transfer you to the Port Ghalib Marina. Upon arrival, you’ll board a modern yacht and meet your professional snorkeling guides.
First Stop: Marsa Shuna
We set sail for our first location, Marsa Shuna. This site is a favorite for its “underwater playground” featuring:
- Marine Biodiversity: Spot Blue Spotted Ribbon Tail Rays, Guitar Fish, Snappers, and Batfish.
- Coral Gardens: Stunning reef formations teeming with tropical fish like Fusiliers and Goatfish.
Lunch & Relaxation
Refuel with a delicious open-buffet lunch served on board. Sip on mineral water or soft drinks as the boat cruises toward our main destination.
The Main Event: Marsa Mubarak (Turtle Bay)
We move to Marsa Mubarak, one of the most famous snorkeling and dive sites near Port Ghalib.
- Seagrass Beds: This is where the Dugong of Marsa Alam frequently grazes.
- Turtle Encounters: Swim alongside massive turtles in calm, shallow waters.
- Reef Exploration: Discover Red Sea bannerfish, parrotfish, clownfish, and even dolphins swimming near the boat.
Return Transfer
After an incredible day of exploration, the boat returns to Port Ghalib Marina at approximately 14:00 – 15:00. Your Marsa Alam City Taxi driver will be waiting to take you back to your hotel.

FAQs
Is prior snorkeling experience required?
No. We provide life vests, and the calm waters of the bay make it accessible even for those who are not strong swimmers.
Are there age restrictions?
While there is no official age limit, we recommend children be at least 5 years old to use snorkeling masks and fins effectively.
What wildlife will I see?
Expect encounters with sea turtles, rays, and various reef fish. While sightings are not 100% guaranteed, Marsa Mubarak is the most reliable spot in Egypt to see Dugongs.
What is the best time of year for a Marsa Mubarak snorkeling trip?
Snorkeling in Marsa Mubarak is spectacular year-round. However, for the best visibility and calmest waters, the months of March to May and September to November are ideal. During the summer, water temperatures can reach 29°C, while winter temperatures hover around 22°C, making a 3mm wetsuit advisable for longer sessions.
Can I see the Dugong every day?
While the Dugong (locally known as the Sea Cow) is a wild animal and follows its own schedule, Marsa Mubarak is its primary feeding ground due to the abundance of seagrass. Marsa Alam City Taxi guides have a high success rate in spotting them, especially in the early afternoon when the bay is quieter.
Is the boat trip suitable for those who suffer from seasickness?
Yes. The journey from Port Ghalib Marina to Marsa Mubarak is relatively short. Our yachts are large and stable. If you are sensitive to motion, we recommend sitting in the stern (back) of the boat and keeping your eyes on the horizon.
Are life jackets mandatory?
While strong swimmers may prefer to snorkel without them, we provide life jackets for everyone. They are highly recommended for children and less confident swimmers to ensure a relaxing experience while observing the turtles.
Is there a “Sunset Trip” option?
Absolutely. Marsa Alam City Taxi offers a magical sunset excursion from 14:00 to 18:15. This includes a second snorkeling stop during the “golden hour” and a romantic dinner on board as the sun dips below the Red Sea horizon.
Can I bring my own snorkeling gear?
Yes, you are welcome to bring your own equipment. However, we provide high-quality, sanitized masks, snorkels, and fins as part of the tour price, so you can save space in your luggage.
Do I need to pay for the national park entrance fees?
All necessary permits and entrance fees for the protected area of Marsa Mubarak are handled by Marsa Alam City Taxi and are included in your booking price—no hidden surprises.
