| A word about Marsa Alam |
| Here in marsa Alam the contrast portrayed by the rugged mountains
bowing into the turquoise water is mesmerising. As striking
as the awesome beauty of the coastline is the air purity
thanks to the complete absence of humidity. Moreover
the desert and mountains in the backdrop are vibrant
with life, and thanks to the absence of development
the starry skies at night are worthy of the best firework
display. Because of the high presence of fresh water
in the soil some of the coastline harbours rich mangroves
born from the contact between fresh and saline water;
this vegetation is rich with a myriad of both bird and
marine life. Encouragingly the government has decreed
these mangroves as protected nature reserves. |
| Diving In Marsa Alam |
|
Marsa Alam is fast becoming a catchword, and justly
so, within the international diving community: fewer
divers, healthy reefs, large pelagics, unique pinnacles,
impressive drop-offs, interesting caves and coral
covered shipwrecks. There are three bases from which
to dive: the hotel by truck of straight off the beach
front; Marsa Shagra at a reef clad bay next door to
the hotel (boat diving to Elphinstone and Dolphin
reef from here) and most recently, Wadi Lahami (an
hours drive south) where you can dive Fury Shoals
at St Johns reef - this is the best !! Divesites
