Dahlak (Dahlac) is part of the Dahlak archipelago and the surrounding waters. It started flourishing with its wildlife after it was abandoned during the war betweenEthiopiaandEritrea.

The government saw a good tourist opportunity and took it upon itself to protect the park. You can see the remains of the shipwreck when you tour around. There are more than 350 different species of fish. Other marine animals include sharks, dolphins, turtle, dugongs, hermit crabs. About 109 species of bird have been recorded here in the park.
