WELCOME TO THE DMRC
 

The Dahab Marine Research Center (DMRC), located at the South Sinai Peninsula, provides facilities and logistic research in the whole Red Sea. It is equipped with 2 classrooms (including several exhibits and optical devices), dry and wet laboratories with running seawater, aquaculture facilities, office space and a library.

Next to university and school excursions of international institutes, on-site supervision and logistic support of scientific projects by marine biologists, the DMRC offers courses on reef ecology, biologically guided dives, tours to the fossil reefs and the National Parks Nabq and Ras Mohammed.

All projects at the DMRC are conducted in close coordination with the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency (EEAA), the concerned national park authorities and in cooperation with the local communities. The association is grateful to the Dive Center DiveIn  Dahab for its co-operation and financial support.
