Marsa Alam Tours 2026 — Private Guided Excursions
Marsa Alam occupies a unique position in Egypt: it is close enough to Luxor and Aswan to make Upper Egypt temple excursions practical, while sitting on one of the Red Sea's finest coastlines. Wadi el-Gemal National Park, 50km south of Marsa Alam, is one of very few places in the world where dugongs — the gentle, slow-moving relatives of the manatee — can be reliably found in their natural seagrass habitat. And the ancient history of the Eastern Desert, including the emerald mines at Wadi Sikait, is accessible from here in a way it is from nowhere else in Egypt.
