Historically speaking, Egypt is not only one of the world's oldest civilizations but probably also one of the oldest holiday destinations in the world. There is much more to Egypt than pyramids and monuments – such as windsurfing and scuba diving in the Red Sea, vibrant night spots, luxury hotels and restaurants. Egypt is generally an incredibly rewarding cultural experience.
Marsa Alam is Egypt's unfinished rare diamond, just waiting to be shaped. With the beautiful Wadi El-Gemal National Park, Marsa Alam is an unspoiled protected area, appealing to nature orientated people. It is not uncommon to see turtles coming to lay their eggs on the beach, or to snorkel or windsurf with Dugons (sea cows) next to you, and the beauty and harmony of the land surrounding you alone make it worth a visit … not to mention the wind !
WE RECOMMEND:
- Sharm El Luli : a wild space that will make you feel like being in the Caribbean or the Maldives, with some white sandy beaches, superb coral reefs full of life, colourful schools of fish for some unforgettable snorkeling times away from the world.
- Overnight trip to Luxor and visit of Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings with a private tour
- Camel ride with local Bedouins or quad excursion to the nearby wadis and in the desert: you will never realize the true beauty of Egypt if you have not enjoyed its desert’s beauty, peace and vibrance. Special mention to the breathtaking Wadi El Gemal national park
- Astronomy Center Marsa Shagara: experience the unique stars, constellations and night skies that only reveal themselves in the middle of the desert. Informative and fascinating.
