Marsa Alam

Usually a turn in Marsa Alam we buy at "Pegas", but sometimes and at "Tez Tour". Why such preference was read on a page When and how to rest in Marsa Alam.

Unfortunately, direct flights from Ukraine in Марса Алам is not present. Therefore, necessary to fly to Hurghada, from where you are mostly taken away on a minibus (there were variants: large bus, passenger car) and drive southward toward Sudan along the Red sea in a hotel. Time on the way 3,5-4,5 hour. Depending on the chosen hotel distance of overland journey arrives at a to 320 km

On the way in Marsa Alam a stop is foreseen on a rest coffee-room on the outskirts of small town El Quseir. Ask a driver to do a stop near a vegetable market in a center El Quseir and will buy a mango - taste is divine (such garden-stuffs in our supermarkets not to find, even in Sri Lanka local mangos seemed to me not such delicious).

The submarine world of the Red sea, that confided in us in Marsa Alam, charmed so that in Sharm el Sheikh we now fly only then, when to time on rest in an edge. Seeing boundless plantations of living corals of whimsical forms, different size, conceivable and unthinkable colors, floating under us tortoises, sharks, octopuses (with lightning speed changing the color in the interval of all spectrum), exotic fishes, we почуствовали itself in other, some fairy-tale world. There was feeling, that really got into the documentary serial "Cousteau team" looked over in childhood.

Alas, on our eyes with the increase of tourist activity on the south coast of Egypt purely clean water of the Red sea loses the transparency, corals lose the beauty, less than fishes become. you have possibility to admire this beauty yet. And over the years, probably, a sea will remind the aquatorium of Hurghada here.

Due to a remoteness from Hurghada, that Russian-language people is practically absent in the hotels of Marsa Alam. Well, in a failure to tremble them three hundred kilometres in a motor transport, then to take up the usual devouring of cheap alcohol that "all is included", and after with mates to visit a pool and beach on that they in the total will fall asleep and fried. And beauty of the submarine world... It for them values doubtful. In the total people gather here, as a rule, intellectual, erudite and with a similar world view, that appears a very pleasant bonus on rest. So that, absence of flights in Marsa Alam from Ukraine and their limited amount from Russia, rather not minus, and plus.

In the first time in Marsa Alam I appeared in 2008. And it was not a chance.

For a year to it, on the way from an airport Charm-El-sheik in the hotel of "Le Meridien" (Dahab), a guide that met, in a difference from previous, was a remarkable interlocutor. Associating with us some time, he understood what we are attracted by rest in Egypt is possibility to admire living coral gardens, most beautiful fishes, sharks, tortoises, octopuses. Internet giving an opportunity to choose a place for rest now, in those times yet only included in our everyday life. It was therefore necessary to take at a word to the workers of tourist companies that possessed scanty information or gave out desired for actual. Thus, we were sent after пездок to Hurghada and Sharm to admire the beauty of the submarine world of Dahab.

So, an afore-named guide listened us and talks: "Guys, in Dahab, certainly, not bad to dive, but go you next time in Marsa Alam. And first of all set forth for a bay Abu Dabbab. Simply"!

By the first hotel that we visited there was "Kahramana Beach Resort" (2008) in Marsa Alam, then "Shams Alam" (2009, 2010, 2011, 2013), "Sol Y Mar Abu Dabbab" (2010), "Tulip Resort Marsa Alam" (2012). Yes, in "Shams Alam" was four times and I plan yet is explanation in my recital of this hotel.

Detailed information about hotels in that I had to visit look on a page Hotels of Marsa Alam.
