Marsa Alam is situated near the Tropic of Cancer where the Arabian Desert meets the Red Sea. With its palm trees, mangroves and sea coasts fringed with barrier coral reefs, it has the appearance of a tropical paradise. It is the ideal base for a fishing holiday.
There are some excellent offshore coral reefs and good diving facilities, for which the area has become well known in the last few years. A nature reserve stretches from here to Gebel Elba in the south.
Hoppa offers an easy way for you and your friends to get around.
