Marsa Alam is the furthest south of all of Egypt's resorts and undeniably has something distinct to offer. Remote, Marsa Alam is an oasis on the edge of the sea front. Scuba Travel have selected each of our hotels as they offer that something extra in a region few other divers visit. Calm and peaceful, escape from the crowds here and dip your toes into the aquamarine waters. No creature comforts need to be left behind and non divers will get just as much out of a visit here. If you prefer to focus on diving, or learning to dive, and you will see great sights that cannot be found further north in the safe hand of a professional team.

Marsa Alam's local marine life has earnt quite a reputation. Snorkeling at Sha'ab Samadai rewards a local pod of bottlenose dolphin, darting around their lagoon. The grassy sea beds are prime fodder for dugong, a type of sea cow. Dive guides smile at Dennis' name and he is a regular sighting at Marsa Abu Dabab. Great big sea turtles can also be found in the sea grass of Ras Shona, hosting remora on their shells. Perfect for novice divers, the fringing reef plate that runs down the coastline is filled with cleaning stations, batfish, and camouflage fish. The oceanics and sharks on Elphinstone's walls must be seen to be believed. Marsa Alam sits on the edge of the Southern Red Sea and is ripe for exploration.
