Beschreibung
The area around Abu Dabbab Bay is part of the Egyptian desert, bordering the coast of the Red Sea. There are two hotels here: the Hilton Marsa Alam Nubian Resort and the Malikia Resort Abu Dabab. The hotel gardens are great for migrants during both spring and autumn migrations and the garden can be full of surprises. Anything can appear here, such as Heckensänger, Grauschnäpper and Zilpzalp. Common (local) species that occur here are Palmtaube, Felsentaube, Wüstenrabe and Wiedehopf. Fischadler has been breeding here for years in a telephone mast on the Hilton property.
The coastline is great for waders. Wüstenregenpfeifer can be spotted near the shoreline. Other common species are Stelzenläufer, Sanderling and Steinwälzer. Küstenreiher often forages near the shoreline for fish. Eisvogel often sits on the rocks, just like Isabellsteinschmätzer.
