Shaab Samadai Dolphin House

Tour Details

A marine sanctuary, Shaab Samadai, also known as the Dolphin House, is tucked away in the deep blue waters of the Red Sea and provides snorkelers and scuba divers with an unmatched experience. This natural lagoon, off the coast of Marsa Alam, Egypt, is well-known for its colorful coral reefs and the gregarious spinner dolphins that live there. Shaab Samadai guarantees a unique underwater experience for all skill levels of divers and snorkelers.

An Enchanted Marine World

The horseshoe-shaped coral known as Shaab Samadai forms a peaceful, shallow lagoon that is perfect for underwater research. Rich in both hard and soft corals, the reef structure offers a vibrant background brimming with marine life. Amazing species here, from vibrant parrotfish and graceful angelfish to the elusive Napoleon wrasse and the odd reef shark.

Shaab Samadai Diving

Shaab Samadai has many diving spots to suit divers of all skill levels. Advanced divers can explore the deeper parts where bigger pelagic species frequently graze since the outer reef walls drop to depths of over 20 meters. Usually between 20 and 30 meters of visibility are present, which makes it easier to see the variety of marine life.

Meeting the local spinner dolphins is one of the pleasures of diving at Shaab Samadai. These dolphins are well-known for their acrobatics and inquisitiveness; they frequently come up to snorkelers and divers to examine. It is quite wonderful to watch these clever animals in their own environment.

Shaab Samadai Lagoon Snorkeling

Snorkelling in the Shaab Samadai shallow lagoon is equally rewarding for those who would rather stay closer to the surface. The coral gardens in this quiet lagoon are teeming with life, and it’s the ideal place to explore slowly. Reef fish, sea turtles, and of course the gregarious dolphins are all common sights for snorkelers.

When the dolphins are most active, in the early morning or late afternoon, is when snorkeling is greatest. In order to prevent disturbing their normal behavior, it is crucial to respect their space and watch from a distance.

Environment and Sustainability

A protected marine area, Shaab Samadai is being conserved to protect its fragile ecology. The local government has taken steps to control the amount of boats and tourists so that the reef and its residents are not overly stressed. It is advised of divers and snorkelers to use reef-safe sunscreen and to avoid coming into touch with the coral.
