Resort Description

Surrounded by tropical palms and flowering gardens, Abu Dabbab Lodge is a relaxed, eco-minded hideaway set directly on the shores of Abu Dabbab Bay on Egypt’s Red Sea.

The property consists of about 60 wooden bungalows, each with a terrace overlooking the pool or gardens, offering a simple yet comfortable atmosphere that blends naturally with its surroundings.

Just a short walk from the water, guests can enjoy two swimming pools, including one designed for children, along with private beach access that leads straight to a vibrant house reef where turtles, dugongs, and colorful corals thrive. This makes it an excellent choice for both snorkelers and divers.

The bungalows are air-conditioned and equipped with private bathrooms, seating areas, and mini-bars. Dining is relaxed and informal, with a beachside restaurant serving fresh dishes and a casual bar where guests can unwind under Bedouin-style tents.

Built on a philosophy of sustainability and care for the environment, the lodge provides a peaceful retreat where families, divers, and nature enthusiasts can either relax or step straight into the sea for adventure. Located about 30 km south of Marsa Alam Airport, it is well regarded for its friendly staff, its stunning beachfront setting, and the abundance of marine life just offshore.
