Experiences in Marsa Alam

The most reliable place on the Marsa Alam coast to snorkel with sea turtles and dugongs — a sandy bay with seagrass meadows, entered straight from the beach.

A protected bay near Port Ghalib where dugongs graze the seagrass almost daily — the closest dugong spot to the Port Ghalib hotels.

The international marina of Port Ghalib: restaurants, cafés, dive centres and the departure point for boat trips — the liveliest evening spot south of Hurghada.

The mangrove lagoons of Qulaan, south of Hamata: shallow channels, kayaks and seabirds between the sandbanks — a completely different side of the Red Sea coast.

A white-sand lagoon in the far south, often called the most beautiful beach of the Red Sea — shallow, calm, turquoise water for a relaxed beach day.

Desert meets sea in Wadi El Gemal: acacia valleys, camels on the shore, mangroves and old emerald mines — the wildest stretch of the Marsa Alam coast.
