Our story
A story of the sea.And of connection.
Since 2019, Dolphin Sataya has brought travellers together on the Red Sea. An adventure shaped by a French-Egyptian team, from the first conversation to life aboard.

The start of the adventure
France · Egypt
It all begins with Sabah.
In 2019, after a career in finance, Sabah chose to devote her energy to what mattered to her: the sea and meeting people. At Sataya reef, she found the starting point for Dolphin Sataya.
The idea is simple: take time to live at sea, discover the reefs and share a week to remember. A team grows around that project, between France and Egypt.
The sea as a starting point. People as the thread that connects it all.
