Marsa Alam
Why go to Marsa Alam
Marsa Alam in Egypt has built its reputation on day trips inland to villages that see far fewer visitors and day trips inland to villages that see far fewer visitors — the kind of place that rewards slowing down rather than rushing between sights. A quieter stretch of Red Sea coast, reef right offshore.
Flights land at RMF airport, and the pace on the ground is generally unhurried — expect the day to be built around the beach, with everything else fitted in around it. Marsa Alam is well suited to both a short week away and a longer, slower two-week stay.
