Marsa Mubarak
Marsa Alam · Egypt
Marsa Mubarak is a sheltered lagoon bay north of Marsa Alam town where seagrass meadows and sandy corridors provide year-round refuge for green turtles and occasional dugongs. The protected bay is ideal for those on their first Red Sea trip, offering relaxed drift conditions while guaranteeing charismatic megafauna encounters that rival far more challenging sites. A gentle swim from the beach leads to a fringing reef wall where lionfish, moray eels, and dense reef fish communities reward every surface interval.
