Who we are

In two breaths

Dolphin Sataya began in 2019 with one clear decision. To leave a settled path behind and build a way of travelling that reconnects you with the wild, with others and with yourself.

We are a small French-Egyptian team, and yes, a young one. Our belief is simple. Trust isn't granted by a logo. It comes from faces you can put a name to, call before you leave, and find again on deck.

Year by year

From 2019 to today

Three moments that matter, and each time the people who carried them.

2019

Sabah leaves it all behind

After several years in finance, Sabah closes the spreadsheets and follows a stubborn hunch. To spend her life reconnecting people with nature, with others and with themselves.

She finds her place in the Red Sea, at Sataya reef, where the spinner dolphins live wild and free. Dolphin Sataya is born of that meeting between a woman and a reef.

The crew

A French-Egyptian team

Around Sabah, a team has come together that knows this sea by heart. Seasoned sailors, dive instructors, guides trained to respect the living world.

French and Egyptian at once, they speak your language and the reef's. They are the ones who watch over you, from the first briefing to the last time you slip into the water.

Holding the course

What guides us hasn't changed. Conscious, ethical travel, far from the crowds and close to what matters.

That reconnection stays our only compass, while leaving the dolphins free to come or not. We stage nothing.

Laure, the voice that answers

Once you've booked, one question always comes up. And now, who do I actually talk to? With us, the answer has a first name.

Laure coordinates travellers from France. She's often your first point of contact, the one who anticipates the details before you leave and stays reachable while you're away. You're never left alone with a form.

The questions we hear most often

A small French-Egyptian team, built around Sabah, who founded the company in 2019. On the paperwork side, a French company, Dolphin Sataya SASU, registered in Paris. People you can name and call.
The spinner dolphins of Sataya are wild and free. No captivity, nothing staged. We approach the reef with respect and let them decide whether to come or not. That is the only way the encounter keeps its meaning.
Yes. You're accompanied by seasoned sailors and PADI-certified dive instructors. Swimming with the dolphins and watching the reefs happens at the surface, always supervised, and stays within reach of anyone who can swim.
From start to finish. Laure prepares your stay from France and stays reachable throughout the trip, and the team on board looks after you in your language. You're never left alone with a question.
