Marsa Alam is located 135 kilometres from Al Quseir. This old fishing village, not far from ancient emerald mines, is being transformed into one of the most glamourous holiday retreats in Egypt. The bay has a contrast of turquoise and crystal-clear waters and a beautiful beach with a multitude of different shapes and sizes of shells. Undoubtedly, sun, sea and sand are the main attractions, awailable all year-round, coupled with a mild and sunny climate with virtually no rainfall.
