Our desert camp

Rated 5.0 out of 5
Great fun, both the quad ride through the desert and the camel ride (though a little too short). The staff were very nice. Tasty refreshments on site. I recommend it to anyone holidaying in Marsa Alam who wants to add some variety to their stay.

Snorkeling vs Diving in Marsa Alam: Which Should You Choose?

Snorkeling vs diving in Marsa Alam comes down to how close you want to get. Snorkeling needs no training and shows you the reef from the surface, often with turtles in shallow water. Diving takes you down among the coral walls: certified divers join guided dives, and beginners from age 10 can arrange a supervised try-dive.

Hamata or Sataya: Which Southern Boat Trip from Marsa Alam?

Hamata or Sataya is a choice between two full days at sea from the same southern harbour. Sataya is the dolphin reef, a big horseshoe lagoon where wild spinner dolphins often rest by day, though they are never guaranteed. Hamata is the islands day: mangroves, empty sandbars, birds and quiet coral gardens. Here is how to choose.

Super Safari vs Desert Safari in Marsa Alam: Which Desert Evening to Book?

Super Safari vs Desert Safari comes down to one thing: the 4x4 jeep. Both evenings include a quad ride, a camel ride at sunset, an Ababda Bedouin village and a barbecue dinner under the stars; the Super Safari adds an off-road jeep drive, starts a little earlier and gets back a little later. Here is how to choose.
