About Abu Dabour
Abu Dabour is a Marsa Alam shore dive with a narrow canyon entry, a sandy slope, and reef routes to the north and south. The route stays shallow before opening onto coral walls and sand, so it rewards good buoyancy and a careful entry plan. Calm weather makes the bay easier to use, and the site is known for hard coral, clear water, rays, scorpionfish, and camouflaged bottom fish.
