Marsa Alam Attractions And Things To Do

Discover the untouched underwater paradise of Marsa Alam, Egypt’s most pristine and serene Red Sea destination, where vibrant coral reefs teem with turtles, dolphins, reef sharks, and colorful tropical fish just steps offshore at sites like Abu Dabbab (the famous “Dolphin House”), Elphinstone Reef (a legendary wall dive with hammerheads), and the crystal-clear Sha’ab Samadai (Dolphin House) protected marine reserve. Relax on long, uncrowded white-sand beaches framed by dramatic desert mountains, explore the Wadi El Gemal National Park with its mangrove lagoons, ancient Roman ruins, and Bedouin camel treks, or simply soak in the year-round sunshine and warm Egyptian hospitality at luxury resorts with private house reefs and infinity pools overlooking the turquoise sea—all in a destination that perfectly balances world-class diving/snorkeling, raw natural beauty, and peaceful seclusion far from the crowds of Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh.

Savor fresh grilled calamari, spicy Egyptian koshari, sweet basbousa dessert, and chilled hibiscus tea (karkadeh) amid gentle waves, desert sunsets, and the unmistakable sense of a place where the Red Sea’s clearest waters meet the quiet magic of the Eastern Desert.

Marsa Alam isn’t just a destination—it’s Egypt’s most pristine Red Sea escape of reefs, desert drama, and effortless coastal serenity—plan your Marsa Alam adventure today!
