Holidays to Marsa Alam

Marsa Alam is one of the fastest growing holiday resorts on the Red Sea Riviera in Egypt, thanks to the construction of an International Airport in 2001. This has established Marsa Alam as an upcoming and exclusive holiday resort, set to rival the already popular Egyptian resorts of Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh.

Situated in eastern Egypt, the appeal of Marsa Alam lies in its tropical appearance, boasting a rich blue coast that is fringed with coral reef barriers, and amazing beaches. The old small fishing village is still known for its remote tranquillity and is a popular destination with sun worshippers as well as windsurfers and divers.
