Marsa Alam- Travel Tips

What to See, How to Plan & Tours

Marsa Alam is a coastal town in southeastern Egypt, developed as a tourist destination since 1995 with investments from Kuwait's Al-Kharafi Group. Its growth expanded after the 2003 opening of Marsa Alam International Airport, connecting it to European cities. The town features clear waters, white sandy beaches, and proximity to Wadi El Gemal National Park, known for diverse wildlife and coral reefs. Activities include diving, kitesurfing, and safaris, with marine life such as turtles, dolphins, and dugongs frequently spotted. The region has a hot desert climate, with warm sea temperatures year-round, and serves as a hub for yachting at Port Ghalib Marina.
