Where and when can you see sea turtles on the hotel reef in Egypt?

A turtle often shows up in the middle of the beach right behind the buoys — a regular feeding spot.

In the evening, a turtle was seen to the left of the 'Nemo mound' coral, close to the sand — though visibility was poor.

A large turtle (about 50 cm shell) was seen on the sunken pontoon around 11 AM, near the fifth buoy from the left, before swimming back out to sea.

The reef is rich with life — turtles, rays, manta rays, moray eels, lionfish; best visibility and lighting before 1 PM, with the most interesting spots further from the entry point.

A turtle was spotted right from the hotel reef's pontoon, along with rays and moray eels in the same area.

A useful landmark for spotting turtles is the large red buoy near a deep spot with a distinctive mound on the seabed.

Turtles can be spotted near the red flag around midday or in the evening — sometimes you can see their head poking out of the water right from the shore.
