Where to snorkel with dugongs in Egypt and how much do private boat trips cost?

A reported current price for a private yacht starts at about US$650, plus US$10 per passenger. The rate depends on the yacht class and season; it may be lower in December and rise again around New Year.

A private boat from Rixos Seagate was reported at US$140 for a group of 6–8 people. The trip included two hours at sea and two snorkeling stops at reefs near a wreck.

For a chance to see a dugong, travelers suggested a boat ride from the area of The Three Corners Equinox Beach Resort to a neighboring bay. It was previously reported to cost about US$20.

Marsa Mubarak by Fayrouz was mentioned as a place where visitors were able to spend substantial time swimming with a dugong. Conditions near Equinox can be affected by waves, while Abu Dabab has an excellent reef but can be very crowded.
