With the sparkling blue waters of the Red Sea and a steady year-round climate that typically stays north of 20 degrees, Marsa Alam is poised to become a real favourite for holiday makers in the Egyptian southeast, touting plentiful sands and more diving tour operators and interesting dive spots than you can shake a snorkel at.

On offer here, are glimpses of ancient graffiti and well-trodden trade routes from the Pharaonic eras at Wadi Hammamat, crumbling Ottoman forts at El Quseir, the temple of Seti I at Khanais, and the sprawling Emerald Mines (widely considered to be the oldest in the world) at the Wadi El Gamal National Park just to the south.
