Mara_2 Says: Excellent diving inside the Solitaire Resort!Really great, great guys! It is a German operated diving center, but they speak fulently english and some italian. All the people working there are really very nice and helpful!We had a great time diving with them and so many...
PALLINA Says: Reachable by bus and than by boat from any resort in Mars'Alam, they have really nothing to envy to Carrabean's and Maldives' atolls. Such atolls are very small and wild; there is nothing there besides sea and beach, so be sure that your boat can offer at least something to...
adelinemmc Says: A boat trip to Dolphin Reef will give you a chance to see dolphins. A huge pod lives there and is protected by marine park status. The park is divided in 3 zones, one is accessible by all, one only by snorkellers and the most protected one is a no-go area for humans so the...
Dive the House reef at Marsa Shagra or Marsa Nakar
adelinemmc Says: See my tip on accomodation for details of the Red Sea Diving Safari eco-camps. Both have a great house reef with two possible dives: North or South.You can choose to be dropped or picked up at the end of your dive by one of their speedboats.Lots of fish and critters to see.

petriojk Says: I have been in this hotel for two nights. New, nice and clean hotel. Anyway wear shoes when walking around hotel area, my friend got some glass to foot after walking without shoes. There is few shops downstairs, T-shirts and diving stuff. Nothing but sand and sea to go by...

Mara_2 Says: Very nice Resort. Small bungalows scaterred in a manicured garden. There are two smimming-pools, one with in-water bar stools, but both with bars.The rooms are nicely furnished with functioning air-condition that you can set-up as you wish, minibar, TV (never used), bathroom...
RitchiS1 Says: I ve been there last Year from 27 - 29 October . The Hotelatmosphere was very familiar . It is a low budget hotel . For Diver who wants to have not croweded beaches and small diving groupes it may be the best choice . The Hotel or Pension is beautiful placed at the beach...
Helpfulness
The airport seems to be going through a refurbishment program and as a result the duty free shop is very difficult to find. Just ask for directions and follow the (small) signs.
What to buy: The selection is not very good at present. The usual cigarettes and alcohols but don't expect a wide choice.
What to pay: All prices are in USD but you can pay in euros or Egyptian pounds and by credit card.

Egypt is a nice country but look more closely and you'll see garbage and in particular plastic bottles and bags absolutely everywhere: in the desert, on the beach, underwater in the coral...

A real oasi in the middle of nothing
Don't go to the Red Sea Riviera and think to have visited Egypt, which is something completely different. Anyway it can be a nice gateway from European winter and still relatively cheap. But also...
We finally made our dream of taking all the kids on one last Big Family Holiday a reality! The page is Marsa Alam but in reality our hotel was much nearer to El Quesir
This may be one of the best parts of the south egypt . Not so crowded as other parts of the red sea area !!
The name Marsa Alam is used to cover a vast chunck of coast. The town itself is quite small but there are resorts and hotels on a 100kms stretch of coast. The diving is very good with all the usual...
