Abu Gallum, Nature reserve in South Sinai, Egypt
The Abu Gallum reserve extends across 400 square kilometers, containing mountains near the shore, coral reefs, deserts, valleys, and salt flats along the Red Sea.
The Egyptian government established Abu Gallum as a protected area to preserve its natural heritage and maintain the ecological balance of the South Sinai region.
Members of the Mizena Bedouin tribe maintain their traditional fishing practices within the reserve, operating under specific guidelines to protect marine resources.
Visitors can access the reserve through organized tours from Dahab, with options for camel rides, jeep safaris, or guided walks along designated trails.
The reserve contains 165 plant species influenced by both Mediterranean and tropical climates, including 44 species that grow exclusively in the Sinai region.
