ACTIVITIES
Dive amongst the outstanding corals of the Red Sea, venture into the desert, go on a botanical journey or sit back and dig into the cultural gem that is the Eastern Desert, we’ve compiled some of the best experiences to have on your next trip.
Emperor Divers are onsite in Wadi Sabarah and organise daily trips to explore the local coastline. Divers and non-divers alike are welcome to join on boat trips from both Port Ghalib and Marsa Alam jetties, and bus trips to the ‘marsas’ (bays) and accessible entries to the fringing reefs. Marine life is usually the star and so diving or snorkeling is highly recommended, but there is always space for those who like to stay dry to relax in the sun or the shade around natural surroundings.With a gentle entrance to the sea and housing sea grass on the seafloor, this wadi is a good place to view Marsa Alam’s largest population of over 100 sea turtles and the renowned but rare dugong also known as the sea cow. It is also
distinguished by its amazing coral reef.
Transportation fees:

Note:
Entrance fee to Abu Dabbab is Euro 14 - to be paid at the entrance
Emperor Adventure’s experienced and passionate guides are onsite through the autumn, winter and spring to you explore the wonderful Eastern Desert. Half day and full day guided hiking and biking trips in Wadi Na’aba, Wadi Shagra and Wadi el Gemal connect you with the local Bedouins, take you up to stunning vistas and let you encounter the local flora and fauna in this wonderful and natural environment. Authentic and unique trips, well away from the mass market desert trips touted by other operators, make you feel like you’re the only people on Earth.
SNORKELING
Directly in front of Wadi Sabarah and to the north of our pier, ‘The Deck,’ there is a beautiful house reef. Also between the two jetties of Wadi Sabarah and our sister hotel, Oasis (400 metres south of us) there are 700 metres of beautiful reef to explore. Open reef brings a large variety of marine life, but it does mean on very windy days it may be necessary to snorkel elsewhere due to currents and rough conditions. Our onsite dive centre Emperor Divers organise daily guided group and private trips for divers and snorkelers, both on our house reef and other destinations. Please inquire what trips they have operating each day based on weather and conditions.
