Masra Alam

The resort town of Marsa Alam is located in the southern part of Egypt on the Red Sea coast. It is 200 km away from the border with Sudan. Just recently, it was a small fishing village. Now it is one of the fastest-growing resorts in the country. Its coastline stretches for 70 km — it has the rapid pace of construction of high-class hotels, ready to receive guests. Recreation in this town is most interesting for water sports enthusiasts. Kitesurfing requires wind, and this is not a problem here. Divers enjoy the beauty and wealth of the underwater world at this resort. It is believed that the local marine fauna is superior to the Ras Mohamed Nature Reserve. As the infrastructure outside the hotels is underdeveloped, tourists entertain themselves with excursions. For example, they head to the desert to the Bedouins and visit gold mines there.
