Marsa Alam is a true gem on Egypt’s Red Sea coast, famous for its pristine beaches, turquoise waters, and relaxed vibe. This coastal haven is a magnet for scuba divers and nature lovers, with its colourful coral reefs and abundant marine life. Whether you want to soak up the sun, explore underwater wonders, or enjoy peaceful surroundings, you’ll find plenty to love here.

A journey through time

Once a quiet fishing village, Marsa Alam transformed into a popular travel destination after the opening of its international airport in 2001. Its strategic location made it a gateway to protected nature reserves, ancient emerald mines, and some of the world’s best diving spots. Today, it strikes a perfect balance between untouched natural beauty and modern comfort.

When to go

The climate is warm year-round, but the most pleasant months are from October to April. During this time, temperatures are milder and ideal for outdoor activities like snorkeling, diving, and desert excursions. Summers can get quite hot, especially in July and August, but the sea remains inviting for water sports.

What are the top things to do?

The area is best known for diving and snorkeling in sites like Elphinstone Reef and Samadai Reef (Dolphin House). You can also visit Wadi El Gemal National Park, take a boat trip, or explore ancient mining sites inland.

Is it family-friendly?

Yes, the area is suitable for families. There are calm beaches, shallow bays, and resorts offering various activities for children and adults alike.
