Marsa Alam

Marsa Alam is a coastal region in the Red Sea Governorate, Egypt, known for access to the eastern Egyptian coast and its reputation as a gateway to world-class Red Sea diving. The area features a range of dive options from shore dives to boat trips to nearby reefs and walls along the southern Egyptian Red Sea. Typical conditions include warm, clear waters and rich marine life, with wrecks and vibrant reefs more commonly explored from nearby centers along the coast. The region acts as a hub for divers visiting the Ras Banas, Samadai, and Abu Dabab areas, with several local dive operators offering launches from Marsa Alam town and its long beaches.
