Marsa Alam Tours

To have marvellous, satisfying and amazing times go on a private tour of Marsa Alam, one of the newer and upcoming resorts in Egypt.

Situated on the southern Red Sea Riviera of Egypt, Marsa Alam is a small coastal town that only twenty odd years ago was just a tiny fishing village. However, once an international airport was built close to the town, everything changed here and it became a holiday destination very quickly.

It is not very surprising that it became a popular place for tourists, it had already been a secret diving paradise for the diving aficionados, but now the whole world knows about it.

It is in Marsa Alam that divers get to experience the diverse sea life which includes Dugong sea cows, sea turtles, dolphins and hundreds of other wonderful fish species, not to mention the amazing plant life here too. For those more experienced and adventurous divers, there are even shipwrecks and offshore reefs to discover and explore.

Let the activities begin!

On Private Tours of Marsa Alam Dive to Elphinstone Reef or Visit Marsa Mubarak

Other reasons why Marsa Alam has become so popular is its remote location. When there is so much politics and troubles in the world today, this resort is like a safe haven, away from everything. This is very reassuring for those with families.

Its proximity to historical sites elsewhere in Egypt is another draw. There are many excellent sightseeing tours that will bring you to ancient Egyptian sites in style and comfort.

A holiday that will suit the adventurous and archaeologist. One day take a private tour and dive to Elphinstone Reef, the next go on a sightseeing tour to Valley of the Kings in Luxor, where the tomb of Tutankhamen is.

Travel Tips for Marsa Alam

The best time of the year to have a fulfilling holiday in Marsa Alam is during the winter time. It is during these months of December, January and February that the weather is pleasant and perfect for going on sightseeing tours or taking part in various outdoor activities. To do these things in the summer months there is a possibility of dehydration and feeling the sting of the heat. However, if it is the extreme heat you want then the summer is ideal.

Meals for two in a mid-range restaurant is around US$25 while a fast food is less than US$10. Local transport starts from 14 cents a stop and taxis start from US$1.50 for the first kilometre. A note of interest: mid-range in this resort is like 5 stars in other places.

Ideally, book all sightseeing tours or private tours you want to do in advance of travelling because during peak times they can get booked out very quickly. Always have bottled water with you during the very hot months as you do not want to get dehydrated. Never leave your accommodation without having applied sunscreen. Be aware in crowded areas of your possessions, as Marsa Alam is no different from anywhere else, to be aware of your surroundings.
