Imagine a land where the sun always shines and crystal clear waters lap up against golden sands.

Somewhere that you can get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and spend hours relaxing or finding out more about underwater life.

Marsa Alam was once a small fishing village but has grown into one of the major tourist areas in Egypt with plenty of luxury holiday and hotel options.

The international airport, just 30 minutes drive from the centre of Marsa Alam has made sure that Marsa Alam Holidays are more popular than ever.

Situated near the Tropic of Cancer, Marsa Alam has a true tropical feeling, with its mangroves and palm trees, and its long beaches with fringing and barrier coral reefs.

The awesome Wadi el Gemal National Park is in its outskirts, with 100km of pure Red Sea beach bliss and desert landscapes.

A coastline renowned for crystal-clear water, perfect for scuba diving or snorkelling if you prefer, attracts a relatively small number of tourists from around the world.
