Once a quaint fishing village, Marsa Alam is today a breathtaking retreat famous for its crystal waters, pristine coral reefs, and serene atmosphere. It is perfect for a diver, beach enthusiast, or anyone in search of nature and tranquility.
Unlike Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh, Marsa Alam is not only less touristy but also provides tourists with the authentic Red Sea experience. The reason for its allure is the raw landscapes, the diversity of sea life, and the tranquility that invites you to forget the madness of your world.
Marsa Alam is one of Egypt's top diving destinations. With spots like:
Elphinstone Reef – and perhaps one of the most famous dive locations, with hammerheads and rainbow-hued coral gardens.
Dolphin House (Sha'ab Samadai) – where visitors may snorkel or dive over wild spinner dolphins in their natural habitat.
Abu Dabbab Bay – ideal for snorkeling and famous for its sea cows (dugongs) and massive turtles.
If you're an underwater fan, Marsa Alam diving tours are definitely on your Red Sea itineraries.
Though the sea is the main draw, there's plenty to see and do on land too:
A huge desert park of mountain ranges, wildlife, and Roman remains. Trek, camel trek, or take 4x4 desert safari through protected landscapes.
An incredible offshore reef famous for huge dolphin pods. Sataya is perfect for half-day boat trips and snorkelling holidays.
This beach spot is perfect for family swimming, snorkelling, and turtle-watching in shallow water.
History buffs will enjoy this off-the-beaten-path location close to Marsa Alam - an Egyptian cultural ancient temple that merges heritage and nature.
The peak season is March to May and November to September, when it is neither too cold nor too hot. The summer months may be too hot, but the sea breeze brings relief. Winter months can be suitable for diving and snorkeling with the warm sea water.
