Trip Description
Wadi El Gemal National Park
Dolphin House & White Island Experience
Located within the protected waters of Wadi El Gemal National Park, this exceptional marine experience takes you to one of the Red Sea’s most pristine and environmentally significant destinations. Known as Dolphin House, the site offers a rare and ethical opportunity to observe wild dolphins living freely within a carefully preserved natural sanctuary.
The area is shaped by naturally sheltered coral reefs and calm lagoons that reduce wave activity and create clear, stable waters ideal for marine life to flourish. Beneath the surface, vibrant coral formations and rich fish life form an impressive underwater landscape, while above water the dramatic scenery of desert mountains meeting the Red Sea creates a sense of true remoteness—far from mass tourism.
Dolphins are naturally drawn to this protected zone due to its sheltered resting areas, abundant food sources, and minimal human impact. As part of a national park, all activities are governed by strict environmental regulations enforced by the Egyptian Ministry of Environment, ensuring that dolphin behavior remains undisturbed and completely natural.
The experience is conducted under professional supervision, with clearly defined snorkeling zones and respectful swimming guidelines. Dolphins are never chased or touched; any encounters occur entirely on their terms, making each moment authentic, ethical, and unforgettable.
Combined with a visit to the stunning White Island, this journey offers a perfect balance of marine encounters, protected nature, and serene Red Sea beauty—an experience rooted in conservation, respect, and exclusivity.
