Conseils locaux
Se déplacer à Marsa Alam
Voiture
The coast road is the only road, and a car or a hotel transfer is how the distances along it are covered.
Recommandé
Ferry
Dive boats go out from Port Ghalib and from the hotels, which is how the offshore reefs are reached.
Bus
Intercity coaches run up the coast towards Hurghada and inland towards the Nile Valley, slowly and not often.

À propos de Marsa Alam
This is the southern end of Egypt's developed coast, and the distance is the point: fewer hotels, longer gaps between them, and reef that sees a fraction of the traffic the northern sites do. It is a diving destination first and a beach one second.
There is very little here that is not the sea or the desert. Days are organised around dives and the road, and a week suits it far better than a long weekend.
