If Hurghada is the Red Sea’s vibrant, bustling metropolis, Marsa Alam is its tranquil, wild-at-heart soul. Located in Egypt’s “deep south,” this once-remote fishing village has blossomed into the premier destination for nature lovers, serious divers, and anyone seeking to escape the crowds and experience the Red Sea at its most pristine.
This is not a city of nightclubs and shopping malls. Marsa Alam’s treasures are its “Big 3” celebrities: dugongs (sea cows), sea turtles, and spinner dolphins. The entire coastline is a protected, unspoiled marine park, where the vast, empty desert meets a sea of impossible turquoise, teeming with life.
For travelers who value encounters over entertainment, and nature over nightlife, Marsa Alam is not just a holiday—it’s an expedition to one of the last true underwater paradises on Earth.
