Abu Dabab is also known as Abu Dabbab or Abou Dabbab is located south of Marsa Alam International Airport on the way to the town of Marsa Alam.
Abu Dabab is six reefs and roughly translated this set of reefs is known as "Fathers Steps" or "Fathers Stepping Stones". According to Egyptian boat captains, in ancient Egypt when earthquakes shook the ground it was said that the Gods were using the "stepping stones" to cross the water. The ground shaking was the Gods standing on each of the six stepping stones before setting foot on the mainland.
It is a very popular snorkeling and diving trip due to the opportunity to see green turtles with the possibility of dugong sightings.
The bay is sheltered with a reef system to the north and south of the bay
Dive boats are no longer allowed to operate in the bay in an effort to protect the marine life that lives in and visits the bay.
