Marsa Mubarak 🚤 a legendary marine sanctuary just a short distance from Port Ghalib, widely known as the ultimate turtle capital of the Red Sea and famous for Dugong encounters.
But what makes this specific bay so special?
Unlike typical steep coral drop-offs, the heart of Marsa Mubarak features a vast, shallow underwater seagrass meadow. This unique ecosystem is incredibly vital, acting as a pristine feeding ground for massive resident Green Sea Turtles and the rare, elusive Dugong (sea cow).
Flanked by healthy, gently sloping fringing reefs on both sides, this expansive bay is naturally protected from strong open-ocean waves. The result is a calm, pool-like environment with jaw-dropping 20 to 35-meter visibility. Whether you are hovering over the seagrass watching a turtle gracefully feed, or exploring the reef edges for hidden seahorses, sea slugs, and scorpionfish, the biodiversity here is simply unmatched.
