Home to an impressive stretch of pristine fringing coral reef and the legendary sites of Elphinstone, Sha’ab Samadai, and Marsa Abu Dabbab, Marsa Alam’s unique offering combines the very best aspects of shore and boat diving. Divers can explore sheer walls, vast carpets of sea grass, hard and soft corals and elaborate topography, while admiring hammerhead, guitar and oceanic white tip sharks, spinner dolphin pods, a resident Dugong and plentiful reef fish.
