Sataya Dolphin Reef from Marsa Alam – Swimming with Dolphins on the Open Sea
It is one of the most exciting trips in all of Marsa Alam. Shaab Sataya, known as the Dolphin House, is one of the most famous reefs of the Red Sea.
It is a natural home to large pods of wild dolphins, which live here in their own environment – without training or human interference. It is not a show or a dolphinarium – it is a real encounter with nature. The chance of seeing dolphins is very high, but remember – they decide whether to swim closer.
