Marsa Alam

A quieter Red Sea base south of Hurghada, Marsa Alam is known for pristine reefs, dugongs, and dolphins with less high-rise development.

• Elphinstone & Fury Shoals – advanced diving (seasonal conditions)
• Dolphin House (Shaab Samadai) – snorkeling with spinner dolphins (regulated)
• Wadi el-Gemal National Park – coastal mountains, mangroves, and Bedouin culture
• Port Ghalib – marina, dining, and boat charters

Best for divers and nature lovers who prefer a calmer resort strip.
