Autumn Serenity in Marsa Alam: Dive into Tranquil Waters and Vibrant Marine Life

Experience the serene beauty of Marsa Alam this autumn with perfect weather for snorkeling and dolphin encounters. Dive into the tranquil waters and explore vibrant marine life, all while enjoying the gentle breeze and stunning sunsets.

Embrace the Tranquil Waters of Marsa Alam

As the sun rises over Marsa Alam, the gentle breeze carries the promise of a day filled with serene beauty and exhilarating adventures. The weather is perfect for exploring the aquatic wonders of this Red Sea gem, with temperatures ranging from a comfortable 69.9°F to 79.6°F. The clear skies and gentle winds create an ideal setting for a day on the water, where the vibrant marine life awaits your discovery.

Begin your journey with a visit to the renowned Marsa Mubarak Snorkeling site. Available from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, this excursion offers a unique opportunity to swim alongside dugongs and the largest turtles in the Red Sea. The 25-minute boat ride to Marsa Mubarak sets the stage for an unforgettable experience, where you’ll enjoy three guided snorkeling sessions. As you glide through the crystal-clear waters, the vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life create a mesmerizing underwater landscape. A freshly prepared lunch onboard provides the perfect interlude, allowing you to recharge before continuing your exploration.

“Spectacular reef - From the moment I hired him everything has been very well organized, at all times they have been in contact with me. On the excursion we have only made two stops, one in which we have been able to swim alongside (huge) turtles, but we have not seen dugongs. And another stop at a beautiful reef has been spectacular. At this stop we have been given the very complete meal (buffet) and we have been able to snorkel for free. The only thing that would stand out wrong is the price of the photos (30€) that I found excessive. Otherwise, I would definitely repeat the experience with them again.” - Reviewed on 2024-08-21
