Shaab Samadai Dolphin House
Overview
Nothing beats the amazing sight of playful and curious dolphins. Marsa Alam serves as the starting point at 09:30 AM for our trip to Shaab Samadai, commonly known as Dolphin House and home to a spectacular pod of residential dolphins. Here’s your likely chance to spot the magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. We do two snorkeling sessions here, each lasting around 45 minutes. In between, you’ll have a fine freshly prepared lunch, including drinks, on board of our comfortable boat. We should be hitting back to Marsa Alam again around 16:00 PM.
