Marsa Alam Holidays At Late Deals
A Beach Lovers Paradise With Stunning Coral Reefs...
Marsa Alam holidays are a relatively new concept as this is still a fairly new up and coming resort, built up from a small fishing village, this increasingly popular choice is set to firmly compete with Sharm el Sheikh for your affections. Located on the west coast of the Red Sea and being the southern most resort in this area ensures a tropical paradise of mangroves, palm trees and colourful coral reefs lying enticingly off the shoreline.
Holidays in Marsa Alam are a beach lover’s paradise with straw laden umbrellas offering shade from the glorious sunny days. The biggest attraction though has to be the endless blue waters and nearly 100km of stunning coral reefs. Snorkelers and scuba divers are in their element here with jetties stretching out to some of the reefs so that even the most timid of beginners can have a go. For the more seasoned of divers there are excursions to the breathtaking Elphinstone Reef, with walls that drop over 70m into the depths of the sea, an endless vision of colourful corals. Dolphin House is another popular dive site with vivid colours and marine life such as morays and hammerhead sharks to keep you company. Deep sea fishing excursions also offer an unrivalled chance to see snappers, tuna, lobster and reef sharks. There is also a marine nature reserve stretching right down to Gebel Elba in the south.
An Ideal Year Round Destination...
The Emerald Mines at Wadi Gimal, date back to the time of the Pharaohs, when emerald and gold was mined here. You can experience a real life history lesson as you explore the cramped conditions that this ancient civilisation had to endure, a really fascinating and educational day out.
A desert excursion is a fascinating way to experience the traditional Bedouin lifestyle whilst on holidays in Marsa Alam. Trek into the desert on horseback or camel, or even a jeep or quad bike and experience the endless sand dunes, rugged canyons and rocky outcrops of the desert terrain. Enjoy the hospitality of the Bedouin people as the day fades and the stillness of the air creates an eerily silent atmosphere, a once in a lifetime experience.
Excursions can be taken into Luxor or Cairo but these will often involve an overnight stay or a very early start!
