Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
Budget first for your Egypt visa, then for site-access or day-boat products. No universal marine-park wristband specific to Abu Dabbab or Elphinstone was identified during research. Instead, costs are usually bundled into beach access packages, dive-center day boats, guiding, and equipment rental. If you want camping or after-hours access in Wadi El Gemal, permission is a separate planning issue rather than an on-the-spot assumption.
| Fee | Amount | Applies to | Where to pay | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Egypt tourist e-Visa | USD $25 single entry or USD $60 multiple entry per visa | Most international visitors who use the official e-Visa system |
The official e-Visa portal recommends applying at least 7 days before travel. Always confirm your passport eligibility and the latest rules before booking flights. |
| Abu Dabbab Escape Day | EGP 2,600 adult or EGP 1,350 child per day | Day visitors and snorkel-focused guests | Where to pay | The official listing includes all-day beach access, 2 guided snorkel tours, buffet lunch, and mask-and-fin rental. Pre-booking is wise because beach access is capacity-managed. |
| Abu Dabbab Adventure Day | EGP 3,800 adult or EGP 1,900 child per day | Guests who want the speedboat-based turtle and dugong program | Where to pay | The official listing bundles beach access, guided speedboat activity, snorkel gear, and buffet lunch. Wildlife remains wild, so the trip improves your odds rather than guaranteeing a dugong. |
| Elphinstone day-boat supplement | Varies by operator per day trip | Scuba divers joining offshore Elphinstone trips | Your dive center or liveaboard operator | Current operator examples in the market quote around EUR 55 to EUR 65, and some centers require Advanced Open Water certification plus about 50 logged dives. Treat this as a planning range, not a fixed park fee. |
| Wadi El Gemal camping or night-visit permission | Permit required per visit | Campers and anyone planning after-sunset access | Wadi El Gemal rangers, park office, or through a licensed local operator | The official park brochure states standard visits run from sunrise to sunset, with camping and night visits requiring permission from rangers. |
