Marsa Alam & The Southern Red Sea

Where Egypt's desert sands dissolve into some of the Red Sea's most pristine waters, Marsa Alam offers an unspoiled paradise for divers and nature lovers. Swim with dugongs in Abu Dabbab's seagrass meadows, explore the coral cathedrals of Elphinstone Reef, or watch spinner dolphins at Samadai Reef. The Wadi El Gemal National Park reveals desert landscapes where gazelles roam ancient trade routes, while the golden beaches remain blissfully uncrowded. By night, Bedouin-style camps offer stargazing amid the silence of the Eastern Desert—proof that Marsa Alam is Egypt's last true coastal wilderness, where marine life still outnumbers tourists.
