Marsa Alam lies far down Egypt's Red Sea coast, with fewer hotels and quieter reefs than the resorts to the north. Hotels sit on wide bays with reefs right off the beach.
Abu Dabbab bay is known for green turtles feeding on the seagrass, and divers come for Elphinstone Reef and the dolphin house at Samadai. Wadi El Gemal National Park protects the coast and desert inland.
Flights from the UK are seasonal, mostly over the winter.
