Three Pools & Coastal Snorkeling

Escape the crowds and discover one of Dahab's best-kept snorkeling secrets — the Three Pools. Drive north along the coast to reach this beautiful stretch of reef where three natural lagoons provide calm, sheltered water perfect for snorkeling. The coral formations here are among the healthiest in the region, with massive brain corals, delicate table corals, and vibrant soft corals swaying in the gentle current. The marine life is spectacular: anemone cities with resident clownfish, lionfish hovering under coral ledges, blue-spotted rays on the sandy bottom, and schools of butterflyfish and surgeonfish cruising the reef walls. The shallow depth and calm conditions make this site ideal for beginners and families. Between snorkeling sessions, relax at a traditional Bedouin beach hut with cushioned seating, enjoying fresh grilled fish, salads, and refreshing mango juice prepared by the Bedouin community who have lived along this coast for generations.
