Nature & Parks

Shaab Samadai, also known as Dolphin House, in Egypt is renowned for its exceptional scuba diving and snorkeling opportunities. This tourist attraction offers a remarkable experience of swimming alongside playful dolphins that accompany divers closely. The night dive at Shaab Samadai adds to the excitement and enjoyment. It is highly recommended to bring speakers along during this amazing adventure. Moreover, visiting Shaab Samadai during Christmas allows tourists to witness an abundance of dolphins.
AMAZING!! Such amazing creatures and well protected!! Coast Guard was there to make sure nobody goes beyond the red buoys The reef beneath is really beautiful and full of life ♥️

I rated this experience 3 stars because I was fortunate enough to see dolphins, which is often a matter of luck. However, I found that the snorkeling guide did not take us to a good spot; there were fewer fish than I expected. Additionally, I noticed that the yacht we used seemed to be burning polluted fuel in the Red Sea, which is concerning for the environment. They need to be more mindful of the area. As they mentioned, there is a dolphin house, so they should anchor the yacht in specific locations to allow snorkelers to swim in those areas.

Amazing place for having a chance to see dolphins in their natural habitat. We went with Vivasub diving center and we were so well taken care of. Only 5 people for 1 guide who was very considerate both of our safety and of the nature. He explained the rules and what lines not to cross. When other group from other diving center broke the rules, he did’t hesitate to made the rules clear to them as well. Amazing experience. Worth every money.

With my family (2 adults and 2 boys), we had a wonderful time snorkeling at the Dolphin House with CORAYA DIVERS. Ahmed, our instructor and snorkeling guide, led us safely and smoothly through the experience. It was incredible to be immersed in the wild dolphin family (5 adults and 4 adorable calves). Watching them swim freely in the Red Sea, without disturbing them, was truly magical. Thanks to Ahmed’s guidance, it became a meaningful and unforgettable memory for all of us.

Great family day trip aboard Night Dream with Coraya Divers and our guide Ahmed. Two snorkeling 🤿 mini-tours in the House of Dolphins 🐬 both filled with nearly continuous swimming with the friendly and joyful mammals: 5 adults and 4 babies. Coraya Divers took us to the reef early, before the arrival of other boats, so we had the pleasure of starting in calm environment, thank you guys. Ahmed is like a dolphin himself, reading the swimming pattern of the mammals with precision and bringing his small team close to the dolphins for unusual eye-to-eye interaction.

Shaab Samadai (Dolphin House) is an absolutely magical spot! Swimming alongside wild dolphins in their natural habitat is an experience you never forget. The moment you enter the water, everything feels calm, clear, and full of life — then suddenly the dolphins appear, moving gracefully and peacefully around you. The atmosphere is unbelievable… open blue water, perfect visibility, and the excitement of seeing these beautiful creatures up close. It’s a mix of adrenaline and serenity at the same time. The whole reef area is well-organized and protected, which makes the experience feel safe, natural, and respectful to the dolphins. A once-in-a-lifetime adventure for anyone who loves the sea and wants a real, authentic encounter with wildlife. Highly, highly recommended!

Went there for a daytrip. Sadly there were no dolphins that day. But the 2 dives were absolutely amazing, great corals, wonderful underwater cave network at approximately 5m depth, lots of fish and wonderful underwater scenery. To be recommended for diving.

It was one of the best dives I did in Egypt. The place is awesome, and a playful dolphin accompanied us during the whole dive, very close to the divers. The night dive is also really fun, absolutely recommended.
