Description
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 Măcăleandru roșcat, Muscar sur and Pitulice mică. Common (local) species that occur here are Turturică africană, Porumbel de stâncă, Corb cu gât maroniu and Pupăză. Uligan pescar has been breeding here for years in a telephone mast on the Hilton property.
The coastline is great for waders. Prundăraș de deșert can be spotted near the shoreline. Other common species are Piciorong, Nisipar and Pietruș. Egretă de recif often forages near the shoreline for fish. Pescăraș albastru often sits on the rocks, just like Pietrar răsăritean.
