Destination

Marsa Alam

Marsa Alam is a quieter and more natural Red Sea region than Hurghada, known for reefs, Abu Dabbab, dugong, dolphins, mangroves and resorts scattered along the coast. The region is best suited for travelers who choose a hotel as a base and want to spend their holiday at sea, snorkelling, diving and relaxing.

Marsa Alam is not an area where you typically stroll between many neighborhoods and restaurants. Prioritize hotel standard, beach/reef access and included meals, and plan excursions to snorkelling and diving sites via serious operators.

Best months March to May and October to November are often best for snorkelling, diving and comfortable temperatures
Weather The climate is dry, sunny and warm all year round. Spring and autumn provide the best balance between warmth, sea temperature and comfort, while summer can be demandingly hot and winter can bring more wind, especially for boating and beach days.
Transfer Marsa Alam International Airport is conveniently located for Port Ghalib and several northern resorts, while some hotels are located considerably further along the coast. Private or arranged transfer is normally most practical, and hotel location should be checked before booking.
