| |
Once a small fishing village, Marsa Alam is rapidly increasing in popularity. 130 km south of Quseir, Marsa Alam is popular among divers and fishing enthusiasts.
With the creation of the new airport, Marsa Alam has the potential to become the new hot spot among divers.
Marsa Alam Hotels
Known mainly as an unspoiled diving location, Marsa Alam is becoming one of the most popular destinations on the Red Sea and in Egypt. Home to a new international airport, Marsa Alam is just a short flight away from many European cities.
Hotels line the relatively untouched shore and promise divers and snorkelers a chance to see a wide variety of marine life.
Many Marsa Alam hotels are well suited to fit a conservative diver’s budget and consist of huts or tents, while other hotels in Marsa Alam cater to the non-diver and offer a full range of activities to enjoy during your holiday.
A good number of hotels in Marsa Alam have a well equipped diving center, and will arrange for diving excursions to locale dive sites such as: Daedalus, Rocky and Zabargad; and the two outer reef systems: Fury Shoal and St John Reef.
If you are interested in a desert excursion, most hotels in Marsa Alam can arrange tours to: Bernice, the Temple of Seti I and the Ancient Emerald Mines
Diving Holidays in Marsa Alam
Marsa Alam is fast becoming a catchword, and justly so, within the international diving community: fewer divers, healthy reefs, large pelagics, unique pinnacles, impressive drop-offs, interesting caves and coral covered shipwrecks.
Well-established dive resorts, camps and diving centers in Marsa Alam, Egypt are scattered to the north and to the south of the main village, some a considerable distance away. All levels of scuba diving certification courses are available in Marsa Alam.
There are several good dive sites along the extended coastal stretch reachable by safari truck. Day boats take divers to the famous reefs of Elphinestone, Abu Dabab and Samadai (Dolphin House).
If you are looking for the ultimate adventure, a multi-day diving safari on a live-aboard is the way to go. Marsa Alam is Egypt's springboard for live-aboard trips to out of the way offshore and southern regions.
Activities in Marsa Alam
There are numerous activities in and around the Red Sea that cater to almost every taste and skill level. Water and land sports are abundant and the possibilities are almost endless.
The Red Sea coastline is filled with operators that offer a wide range of water sports that are suitable for any age. If you are a novice, many Red Sea resorts offer beginners classes in most water activities. You can learn how to dive, water-ski and windsurf or sail.
If you are an experienced sportsperson, you will find all the tools you need to enjoy the sport of your choice. Many of the Red Sea operators offer families the unique opportunity to enjoy banana boat, kayaking, inner-tube riding or glass bottom boat together.
In addition, many resorts offer land sports such as: volleyball, tennis, squash or golf. If you are more inclined towards activities revolving around the land, there are many ways for you to explore the areas around the Red Sea. If you are interested in seeing the desert you can choose your mode of transportation: foot, camel, jeep, quad runner or with a Bedouin guide.
