Cheap Holidays to Marsa Alam
For years, Marsa Alam has been a well-kept secret. Situated on the Red Sea Riviera in Egypt, it’s long been known as a paradise for divers who wish to discover kaleidoscope coral reefs, hundreds of species of marine life and abandoned shipwrecks. Nowadays though, more and more holidaymakers are catching on, and Marsa Alam is starting to become the tourist hotspot that it deserves to be.

Getting Around
Marsa Alam is fairly small and self-contained, and therefore walkable. Taxis will get to where you wish to go, and are comfortable and inexpensive. Agree the fare in advance. Buses are available for longer trips, to Luxor, Cairo or Aswan, for example. There are also daily buses to popular Hurghada, although the timetable is sketchy! You’ll find jeep and camel safaris in the nearby desert, and quads can also be hired.

- Things to Do
Marsa Alam is known for its kitesurfing opportunities, and caters for everyone from total beginners to more experienced surfers who want to try out the Red Sea crests. The high proportion of windy days each month will appeal to the pros, but if you’re just starting out, the relatively gentle waves will be perfect for you.
Visit Ancient Mines
The hills around Marsa Alam used to be the home of emerald mines - some of which can be visited today. Apparently, it is emeralds that were mined from these hills that were Queen Cleopatra’s stone of choice, and while the chances of you landing on some shimmering bling are slim to none, the mines are still an interesting day out.
