Egypt and the Red Sea are a true treasure
for those who are interested in diving and safaris. Marsa Alam
is a resort situated in the Egypt's East, on the Red Sea West
Coast. This resort is not a crowed place where you can enjoy in
silence the beauty of the coral walls, the ship's wrecks and the
underwater gardens. Marsa Alam combines the desert atmosphere
with the diving pleasure. In the Marsa Alam vicinity are three
splendid dive sites. Shaab Samadai is one of them, a place where
the spinner dolphins come frequently. More, you can see
beautiful and interesting reef fish such as the lionfish, the
leopard groupers and masked butterfly fish. There are also three
different areas for scuba diving whose depths vary from 5 meters
to 25 meters. Elphinstone is another dive site with anthias and
sea turtles; the reef is also visited by a variety of sharks,
like the white-tip sharks (in the October – January period), the
hammerheads and the grey reef sharks. The place is perfect for
diving, for beginners and advanced too. In the plateau's South
the depths has about 70 meters while in the North the depths are
not so big. Fury Shoal is the third dive site in Marsa Alam that
has a very colorful sea life with dolphins, different species of
sharks, pelagic fish and gardens of corals. The site owns a
sailing ship for those who want to explore the fantastic sea
world. There is also a tugboat's wreck that attracts the
visitors. From the water world you can go to the fascinating
world of the Marsa Alam's desert by traveling on a camel or on
trained horses or by car. Try the experience of taking dinner
under the desert sky in a Bedouin open wigwam. |
